Get Trained - Get Free Narcan - Carry Narcan - Save Lives
One focal point of the HEALing Communities Study is to increase opioid overdose education and Narcan distribution in Cayuga County. Since the social distancing and stay-home guidelines of Coronavirus COVID-19 make in-person training very difficult at this time, we are now offering a convenient online training on the use of Narcan to reach people in all parts of our county and provide them with life-saving Narcan to be able to respond to an opioid overdose emergency.
