Nearly 40% of overdose deaths occur while a bystander is present, but Narcan access for bystanders can help save lives!

Attendees to this half-hour program will receive a brief training on how to recognize an opioid overdose, and learn when and how to use Narcan. All participants will receive a free kit with safety supplies and information upon completion of their training.

Registration is required, and space is limited to 20 attendees. For ages 16+ only.

Presented by the Greater Boroughs Partnership for Health.
