Posted: Monday, March 7, 2016Opiate Overdose Prevention Workshop (Narcan Training) - March 14
Weigel Health Promotions will host an Opiate Overdose workshop through Horizon Health Services on Monday, March 14, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in Ketchum Hall 219.
Overdoses of prescription opiates and heroin are a serious concern in Western New York and the United States as a whole. Horizon Health Services offers training on use of the drug Narcan (naloxone) to reverse the effects of opiate overdose and give victims a chance at survival.
This workshop covers how to identify if a user is in active overdose, how to administer Narcan, and how to get victims the appropriate help they need. All program attendees will leave with a free Narcan kit.

Please contact Paula Madrigal, wellness and prevention coordinator, 878-4719, with questions or concerns.
