If you are an individual seeking training we can share a list of upcoming training dates and locations. If you are part of any type of group we will work with you to plan a training time that works for your group. Trainings can range from 60-120 minutes depending on the size of the group and their learning needs. During trainings we help participants learn about overdose risk factors, signs of overdose, and how to administer naloxone. We assist participants in obtaining their own naloxone kits and other important resources. All of our trainings are free and open to anyone seeking to learn about overdose prevention.
