School Naloxone Opioid Overdose Training
Course Overview
The School Naloxone Opioid Overdose Training has been specifically developed to assist schools in overdose prevention and response. The training course will discuss the need for a school-based opioid emergency response planning and preparedness and teach school personnel how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and administer the opioid overdose reversal drug Naloxone.
The course is available as a self-paced online course, as a trainer program for in-person and virtual settings, or delviered by Overdose Lifeline as live online and on-site training for groups of five or more.
Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. with nearly 92,000 lives lost in 2020. The overdose crisis which escalated sharply (32%) during the first year of the pandemic does not appear to be letting up. For the first time, overdose deaths exceeded 100,000 in 2021, nearing 108,000 – increasing another 15% … or 47% over a two-year period.
Opioid overdose is life-threatening and requires immediate emergency attention.
It is imperative for schools to prepare for a potential overdose emergency. It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that the safe and effective management of opioid-related overdoses in schools must be incorporated into the school emergency preparedness and response plans.
Note: The training does not provide the credentials to be a Naloxone Distribution Entity. State requirements differ. Therefore please check with your local state HHS or Health Departments for specific requirements for your state.
