The public health effort focuses on reducing the severity of symptoms and preventing the spread, especially to vulnerable populations like infants.
The **Community Naloxone Training** is a free event that will teach participants how to recognize an opioid overdose and administer **naloxone (NARCAN)**. The training also covers **Steve’s Law**, which includes Minnesota’s Good Samaritan and Naloxone Legislation. Attendees will see a demonstration of how to administer naloxone and receive their own naloxone kit.
The event takes place on **Thursday, September 26th**, from **6-7 p.m.** at the **Detroit Lakes Public Library**, 1000 Washington Ave, Detroit Lakes, MN. This is a hybrid training, meaning you can join either in person or virtually via **Microsoft Teams**.
For more information or to join virtually, you can use the **Meeting ID**: 289 138 175 26 and **Passcode**: FexCf3. The event is hosted by the **Steve Rummler HOPE Network**, **Public Health Becker County**, and **Becker County Sheriff’s Office**.
This is a critical opportunity to learn lifesaving skills and help prevent opioid overdoses in the community.
