Support for this program is from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Services. \nDuring this 60-minute virtual class you will learn: \n• How to recognize the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose. \n• How to administer Narcan nasal spray to potentially reverse the effects of an \nopioid overdose. \n• Other knowledge needed to fully respond to an opioid overdose emergency (what to do and not do). \nRegistration will be confirmed via an email\, which will contain course log-in instructions for Zoom\, how to obtain your REVIVE Kit (2 CPR mouth barriers\, vinyl gloves\, instruction card) and Naloxone. \nUpon completion of the virtual training\, only Fairfax County and Cities of Falls Church/Fairfax residents can receive the Revive Kit and/or no-cost Naloxone.  If you would like more information on how to obtain Naloxone in your region\, or outside the Fairfax-Falls Church area\, please contact the Wellness\, Health Promotion & Prevention Team at CSBRevive@fairfaxcounty.gov. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print URL:https://ashburnlegion.org/event/virtual-opioid-overdose-and-naloxone-education-training/ CATEGORIES:American Legion END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250109T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250109T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T120541 CREATED:20241219T165116Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241219T165116Z UID:3571-1736409600-1736442000@ashburnlegion.org SUMMARY:Day on the Hill - Richmond\, VA DESCRIPTION:DAY ON HILL is January 9\, 2025 THURSDAY.
