  • Thu, June 1 from 7- 8 p.m. at Washington-Liberty High School (Little Theater)
  • Mon, June 5 from 6-7 p.m. at Wakefield High School (A-134-conf. room)

Learn how to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and save a life.

This free one hour training will teach the basics on the opioid epidemic and how to recognize and respond to an overdose.

As a reminder to families, high school students can carry Naloxone in school with parent/guardian consent. Additional information is available online.
