Naloxone Education and Distribution

This training will teach you how to recognize and reverse an opioid overdose.

You will become a Certified Opioid Overdose Responder and receive an Overdose Rescue Kit with naloxone--a medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose and restores breathing.

This training is open to anyone who wants to learn how to reverse an overdose; you do not need to be associated with an organization to attend.

Please note:

• Registration is required.
• Organizations may send key staff members to be trained (individuals may still get their own kit for personal use if they would like).
• If your organization is a registered Opioid Overdose Prevention Program and you would like to be trained in DISPENSING naloxone, this is not the right training to take.
• Please contact the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) for the Training of Dispensers (TOD) calendar.
