New Opportunities will be offering a free “Be Prepared” presentation to assist in identifying and how to respond to an opioid overdose. On July 18 at the Audubon Rec Center Community Room, New Opportunities staff will dive into topics such as current drug trends, how to identify if an opioid overdose is happening, how to respond and to properly administer Narcan if necessary. Narcan is a nasal spray opioid antagonist that quickly reverses the effects of an overdose if administered promptly and correctly. Following the presentation, free Narcan will be distributed to all participants. The program begins at 6 p.m. and anyone ages 16 and up are welcomed to attend. Anyone with additional questions can contact Carol Bayer or Amanda Thornton using the contact points included below.
