Opioid overdose prevention
The Santa Clara County Library District and the County of Santa Clara’s Behavioral Health Services Department are hosting a Opioid Overdose Prevention Workshop Saturday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. at the Saratoga Library.
The workshop will cover drug education, including recognizing an opioid overdose, and will provide training with the over-the-counter medication Naloxone nasal spray commonly known as Narcan.
Earlier this year, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved a proposal to supply and maintain Narcan at county libraries in the event of an emergency.
Workshop registration is required to https://sccld.org/blogs/post/opioid-overdose-prevention. Participants who complete the training will be given a free Narcan kit, while supplies last.
