ERIE COUNTY, NY – The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) and the Erie County Opiate Epidemic Task Force are announcing the schedule for free Narcan trainings for the remainder of 2023. Participants learn to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and use Narcan (naloxone) to reverse an opioid overdose.
Narcan (also called naloxone) is a life-saving medication, easily added to personal and household first-aid kits. All participants will receive a free Narcan kit after the training is complete. Virtual training participants will need a computer with Internet access or a smart phone with the ability to access WebEx.
