Free Naloxone Nasal Kit and Training
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM MST Yukon Public Library - Meeting Room 1171 Front Street Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 2C6
Be prepared to help reverse an opioid poisoning!
People are losing their lives to substance use across Canada. Yukon has the third highest rate of apparent opioid toxicity deaths. (CMHA Yukon). These are our neighbours, co-workers, and family. Imagine if every worksite had Naloxone nasal spray and workers trained to respond in the case of an overdose nearby.
The Yukon Federation of Labour has partnered with Yukon Health & Social Services to bring this training to workers in Whitehorse, Yukon. You will learn how to identify an overdose, how naloxone can save a life, what you can respond to an overdose, and how to administer naloxone through the nose. You will also get a free kit to take with you.
This event will be at the Whitehorse Public Library Meeting Room, next to the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre. Plan to arrive by 5:30 pm.
