This Thursday (8/3) the Hancock County Health Department will provide training on Naloxone (NARCAN) usage. This meeting will be held at the EOC (640 South Franklin, Greenfield). It is open to the public.
Do you know how to help someone you suspect has overdosed on opioids? This course will provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to respond to a known or suspected opioid overdose emergency.
In this course, you will learn:
- To recognize the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose.
- The appropriate care to provide based on the person’s breathing and level of responsiveness.
- How to give naloxone to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
Whether you’re adding this course to supplement other first aid training or are taking it as your first exposure to first aid training – you will gain the knowledge you need to respond to an opioid overdose emergency.
