Save the date! May 12th!
SWANK Overdose Prevention and Response Training
Facilitated by Stephen Crowe, Harm Reduction Coordinator, FROST’D
LOCATION TBD, 7pm-9pm
Heroin (and other opioid) overdoses are a common cause of death among users, yet these deaths are often preventable through education, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and when possible, through the administration of Naloxone (Narcan). In this workshop, participants will start by learning the essentials of preventing opioid overdose deaths including prevention, recognition, and action. Participants will receive a certificate as Trained Overdose Responders and become qualified to train heroin or opioid users and colleagues at their own facilities on how to prevent an overdose. We will learn about fatal drug combinations, how to identify and respond to an overdose. Participants will practice overdose response, rescue breathing, and Naloxone administration.
RSVP: This event is open to any SWANK or SWOP-NYC member (you must have attended at least one meeting). Please RSVP by May 7th at 5pm to: sarahjenny@gmail.com
