About this event

  • 2 hours

Calgary, as well as the rest of Canada, has been truly devastated by the unprecedented number of opioid poisonings and related deaths. Join Safeworks staff to review the principles of harm reduction and how to practice them in any setting. Learn about poisoning prevention, recognition, and response, how to obtain a Naloxone Kit, and how to register as a Community Based Naloxone kit distribution site.

This is a public event. Everyone is welcome.

Community Based Naloxone kits are available through pharmacies, find one near you at :

www.albertahealthservices.ca/naloxone

As this is an online event, we encourage you to pick up a free naloxone kit before or after a session. Naloxone kits are available for free and do not require ID or healthcare information in Alberta.
