Naloxone Training & Information Session

Innovation Works

The Middlesex-London Health Unit, Regional HIV/AIDS Connection, London Area Network of Substance Users and the London InterCommunity Health Centre launched The Naloxone Program in June of 2014. This collaborative effort is supported by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The intention of this multi-agency partnership is to prevent opioid overdose and save lives.
Overdoses usually occur accidentally when someone takes more of an opioid dose than their body can handle. Naloxone is a medication which is used to temporarily reverse the effects of an overdose of opioid drugs. The Middlesex-London Health Unity will be coming to Innovation Works on April 29 to provide information and training on administering this life saving medication. 
If you are interested in learning about this medication and/or being trained on administering we hope that you will join us!
