About this event
The Naloxone (NARCAN) and Opioid Overdose Training course will teach you how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and administer the opioid overdose reversal drug Naloxone (NARCAN).
Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose and is proven to be safe, effective, and easy to use.
CU Denver's Public Health Response and Emergency Management Division are collaborating to share with you the information and resources needed to reduce harm caused by opioids. This will not only benefit our students, faculty, and staff, but also our friends, families and campus visitors.
