Naloxone Training
Opioids have the potential for problematic use and abuse. In recent years, Canada has seen a dramatic increase in deaths related to opioid overdosing. That’s why training the public on the administration of Naloxone, a fast-acting drug used to temporarily reverse the effects of opioid overdoses, is vital. JACS offers free Naloxone training to individuals, organizations and other community members to help prevent overdose deaths. This half hour training session on this free and readily available overdose reversal drug might be the difference between life and death for you, your loved ones, your coworkers, and your community members.
To book a free training, contact Orit Tordjman, Outreach Manager, at orit@jacstoronto.org
