Community Calendar of Opioid Overdose Prevention Trainings
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the COVID-19 response, in-person trainings maybe canceled or delayed. Please call the program first. In some cases, programs are offering opioid overdose training & rescue kits by phone, Skype, Zoom, etc.
NYSDOH Opioid Overdose Prevention Initiative's registered opioid overdose programs offer community opioid overdose trainings throughout New York State. All community trainings on this calendar are for the general public - regardless of level of understanding or knowledge of opioid overdose.
Participants who attend a community training can expect to learn:
- Signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose;
- Steps in how to respond to an overdose and how to administer naloxone;
- The NYSDOH cost-saving program Naloxone Co-payment Assistance Program (N-CAP) and identify participating pharmacies where New Yorkers can get naloxone by using their prescription coverage through their health insurance plan (especially, Medicaid managed health care plans and private health insurances); and
- The benefits of the NYS 911 Good Samaritan Law including the importance of calling emergency medical services.
