💜 August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day.
When an opioid overdose happens, every second matters.
Naloxone, commonly known by the brand name NARCAN®, can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and give someone the time they need for emergency help to arrive.
Knowing how to recognize an overdose, call 911, administer naloxone, and provide lifesaving care can make the difference between life and death.
And you don’t have to be a healthcare professional to learn how.
At First Aid & CPR, LLC, we cover naloxone administration as part of our First Aid training because being prepared means knowing what to do before an emergency happens.
💜 Carry naloxone.
💜 Know how to use it.
💜 Never be afraid to help.
💜 One action can save a life.
