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'

• Dispense naloxone and related equipment to kit recipients;
