Naloxone forum and training

Would you like to be able to identify the signs of an opioid overdose? Do you want to understand what Naloxone is and how to administer it? Would you like to be better equipped to prevent overdose and reduce harm?

Washtenaw Families Against Narcotics is offering a free forum and training Monday, February 10th from 7 to 8:30 pm at Morris Lawrence Building of Washtenaw Community College located 4800 E. Huron River Drive in Ann Arbor (park in lot #1, #2 or #3). The training is designed to empower non-prescribing providers and other learners in directly impacting the opioid epidemic through increased knowledge and tools. Participants will be provided with (and shown how to use) Naloxone kits, which have helped save countless lives by reversing opioid overdose.
