Free Community Trainings in Opioid Overdose Recognition & Use of Naloxone for Reversal

On a regular basis, ECDOH provides training to Erie County residents on how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. This training includes how to use the aerosol version of naloxone (Narcan) to reverse the overdose.

Narcan Kit

There is NO COST to attend this training. Participants must be at least 16 years old.

Naloxone is a benign drug. If it is administered when an individual is not experiencing an opioid overdose, no harm will come to the patient.

A kit containing 2 doses of naloxone will be given to each attendee who successfully completes the training. Once an individual uses these doses, they must submit the Naloxone Training and Overdose Reporting Form in order to receive a replacement naloxone kit.

Upon completion of the training, participants will be able to recognize the signs & symptoms of an opioid overdose, administer naloxone (Narcan) properly and take necessary follow-up steps.

Online Registration Only.  Click on website; then Click on the desired date to register for that training. Pre-registration is highly recommended as space is limited.
