INFORMATIONAL SESSION ON OPIOID EPIDEMIC AND NARCAN MARCH 3 and March 16
The public is invited to an informational session on the Opioid Epidemic and Use of Narcan, March 3 at the Westborough Public Library, and March 16 at the Shrewsbury Public Library. Amber Ali, Westborough Girl Scout troop 30633, will discuss her Girl Scout Gold Award project. It will be held at 3:30 p.m. both days in the library meeting room. Christine Mowry, Executive Director at Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services, is the project advisor.
The opioid epidemic has overtaken the nation and spread to all socioeconomic demographics. Massachusetts is no exception, and for this reason it has become increasingly important that even those who aren’t in first responder or medical professions learn how to administer the opioid-overdose reversing drug Narcan, and keep it in their homes if possible. Similar to first aid and CPR training, this knowledge can save lives. The public is now able to carry Narcan for use in an emergency. If you are interested in learning more about Narcan and the opioidepidemic, come to either of the programs. All are welcome to attend.
