Receive Training on Naloxone Use

The HERC, along with campus partners in other departments can also hold trainings for you or your group! Along with learning how to administer Naloxone, individuals will learn how to recognize the signs/symptoms of overdose and recognize who may be at risk of opioid overdosing. Our for can be found below for summer and fall 2024 semesters. If none of those dates work, please indicate that in the form and we will be in contact with you to arrange a training. Our trainings are 100% free and attendees can receive a free box of Naloxone at the end of training*. 

*boxes of Naloxone are on hand for those who select in-person trainings. Those who select virtual can still receive boxes but will be delayed in receiving them. Units available are based on # of participants vs. # of units on hand. This could cause delays for all attendees (in-person or virtual) in receiving units.
