Naloxone Training
Naloxone Training is now considered a mandatory training course for individuals and organizations where there is a risk of opioid overdose under amendments made to the Occupational, Health & Safety Act. The course may be delivered as a stand-alone course or an adjunct to a First Aid, CPR & AED training course. Identifying, recognizing and managing the overdose is critical in the preservation of life when opioids are the cause.
Course Outline
- Identifying Drug Stigmatization and Harm Reduction
