Learn to Save a Life: Free Naloxone Training

We are hosting a one-time Free Naloxone ‘Training of Dispensers’ where staff and the community can become trained to dispense Naloxone through our Opioid Overdose Prevention Program (OOPP). Those trained will become part of Betances’ list of 'trained dispensers'

Naloxone Dispensers have the following responsibilities:

• Teach individuals to respond to overdose using the required overdose response education
• Tailor each training session to the setting and the audience;
• Demonstrate naloxone administration; Handle the logistics of dispensing a naloxone kit, including the following:
• Issue a blue Certificate of Completion Card with each naloxone kit indicating

1. The date of dispensing;
2. The name of the prescriber issuing the prescription;
3. The naloxone formulation being provided; and
4. The name of the OOPP, including contact information for reporting use of naloxone;

• Dispense naloxone and related equipment to kit recipients;

1. Inform kit recipients of the importance of returning to the OOPP to replace naloxone before it expires;
2. Inform kit recipients of the importance of reporting naloxone administration, either by returning to the OOPP where they received naloxone or by using the Stop OD NYC mobile app; and
