Subject: Overdose education and Naloxone Distribution Trainings of Trainers
Good morning,
I wanted to let everyone know that the MO-HOPE Project will be conducting two Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution trainings of Trainers in December. We will host a statewide webinar on 12/3/19 from 1-3 p.m. Interested people can
register at the link below:
https://zoom.us/meeting/register/210ba0022189e450d746f627e8486654
We will also conduct an in-person training on 12/12/19 in St. Louis. Those interested can register here:
Participants will learn to provide education for their own organization or external organizations on how to conduct overdose education and naloxone distribution with those at high risk of witnessing or experiencing opioid overdoses. Some
organizations may be eligible for free naloxone through the MO-HOPE Project. If you or your organization have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
This training prepares individuals to train those who will discuss overdose education and naloxone use with individuals at risk of experiencing or witnessing an opioid overdose. After completion of this course, participants will be given
resources to present all materials to others. This course is most appropriate for individuals who will offer trainings to county and municipal health departments, treatment providers, socials service agencies (including homeless shelters, domestic violence
shelters, food banks, etc), medical providers, and other community organizations and agencies that may work with at-risk individuals.
Core Material (2 Hours):
- Opioid Overdose Background: Learn about opioid overdose causes and trends
- Opioid Epidemic: Learn about existing efforts to combat the opioid crisis and legislative protections for naloxone use and dispensing
- Opioid Overdose Prevention, Recognition, and Response: Learn how to correctly identify and respond to an overdose event, including how to administer naloxone, and how to prevent future overdoses
- Delivering Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND): Learn how to provide clients with overdose education, and either distribute or recommend how and where a client can acquire
naloxone.
- MO-HOPE Evaluation: Learn how to participate in MO-HOPE evaluation protocols, including teaching clients/patients how to complete “Overdose Field Reports” when naloxone is used to reverse
an overdose
Please feel free to share this information widely.
Thank you,
Brandon
