Narcan 101: Preparation and Administration for DV Programs and Shelters (Virtual)
September 21, 2022 – 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Hawai’i State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (HSCADV) is happy to announce that fellow member organization, Hawai’i Health and Harm Reduction Center (HHHRC), will train domestic violence service providers both in-person and virtually on Naloxone (Narcan), a medicine that reverses an opioid overdose.
According to the State of Hawai’i Department of Health, there were 41 deaths in the state from synthetic opioid-related drug overdoses in 2021, a 600% increase since 2017.
To address this growing concern, HSCADV is planning to host “Narcan 101: Preparation and Administration for DV Programs and Shelters.” This training will be offered once on Wednesday, September 21 via Zoom.
These trainings will include discussions on the following:
- General information about opioids such as fentanyl and reversal medicines such as Narcan,
- Hawai’i-specific laws,
- Tutorials on when and how to administer Narcan,
- Additional resources for domestic violence programs and shelters.
Speakers will distribute materials (Narcan) on the day of the in-person session. Those who attend the virtual session can send their contact information to the speakers after the training to have materials shipped to them.
Recording: This webinar will be recorded and added to the HSCADV Resource Library on Coalition Manager after the session but it will only be available to HSCADV members with Coalition Manager access.
