The Garrett County Health Department is now offering free Virtual Overdose Response Trainings. These one-on-one sessions will cover information about drugs that cause overdoses, as well as how to prevent, recognize, and respond to an overdose.
โBecause the sessions are one-on-one, we will be able to schedule them for a time that works for you,โ said Chelsie Dever, Overdose Response Program Coordinator. โYou never know who may be at risk for an opioid overdose, so be prepared to save a life by carrying Naloxone.โ
After completing the training, you will receive Naloxone and a resource pouch, each of which will be delivered to you.
To register for a virtual training, call 301-334-7724. Agencies and organizations may also request a virtual training for employees.
These classes are administered by the Garrett County Health Department through funding from the Maryland Department of Health and SAMHSA.
