[ARCHIVED] NARCAN TRAINING COMMUNITY FORUM

ld09narcanNARCAN TRAINING COMMUNITY FORUM

YOU CAN SAVE A LOVED ONE FROM OVERDOSE!

 

MONDAY, AUGUST 6TH – 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Williston Park Village Hall – 494 Willis Ave., Williston Park

Every day, at least one Long Islander dies from an opiate overdose. And those are only the ones we know of – the ones directly caused by heroin or prescription painkillers such as Percoset or Oxycodone.  If you don’t think it can happen to someone you care about, please think again.  Overdoses can happen to anyone.

Presiding Officer Rich Nicolello is co-sponsoring this event with Senator Elaine Phillips, Assemblyman Ed Ra, Councilman Angelo Ferrara, Williston Park Mayor Paul Ehrbar and East Williston Mayor David Tanner to help residents learn what to do in case of an overdose and to teach them how to administer the life-saving, overdose-reversal agent called Naloxone, or “NARCAN.”  NARCAN is the antidote to an opioid overdose and all attendees will receive a free kit.  If you have an expired Narcan kit from a previous training, bring it and we’ll give you a new one.

SEATING IS LIMITED AND RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED

To reserve your seat and free NARCAN Overdose Prevention Kit,
