St. Martin’s parishioner Sandra Mayen will give a presentation and lead a discussion about Narcan at Sunday’s Adult Forum. Narcan is the brand name for naloxone, an FDA-approved prescription medicine that can block the effects of opioids, and reverse an overdose.
The presentation will address the following frequently asked questions:
What is an overdose?
How do we recognize someone who is overdosing?
What makes someone at risk of an overdose? How do we recognize someone at risk?
What is Narcan, why is it important, who should carry it,
How does Narcan reverse an overdose?
How long does it take for the reversal to take effect?
Are there ways to prevent an overdose from happening?
Please join us in Park Hall at 9am for this important discussion about a topic that is affecting our community and the communities around us.
