Narcan Training
Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is a nasal spray used to reverse opioid overdoses. During this training session, you will learn how to safely administer Narcan to someone experiencing an overdose. The training also covers:
- The magnitude of the opioid crisis and its impact on our community
- How to recognize the signs of an overdose
- How to respond to an overdose, including performing CPR
- Aftercare considerations for overdose survivors
- How to use fentanyl test strips
At the end of the training, all participants receive an Overdose Rescue Kit containing Narcan—an easy-to-use nasal spray that reverses opioid overdoses. Fentanyl test strips will also be available to anyone who wants them.
