Opioid Overdose Prevention Workshop Presented In Natick

NATICK, MA—A one-hour workshop presented by Katie Sugarman, Prevention & Outreach Program Manager for the Natick Health Department, provides participants with an overview of opioid addiction, how to reduce the risk of overdose, how to recognize the signs of an overdose, and how to respond in order to save a life.

The workshop, which takes place on Monday, Oct. 22, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., is being held at the Addiction Resource Center in the Natick Community Senior Center.

If you know someone at risk of opioid overdose or just want to be better informed about overdose prevention and response, this workshop will provide helpful tips that could help you save a life. Participants are invited to stay after the workshop to receive free overdose response kids that include the opioid overdose reversal agent naloxone (Narcan). Training and kits made possible through the Natick Health Department and generous funding from the MetroWest Health Foundation.
