Drug to Treat Opioid, Heroin Overdoses Offered Free to All U.S. High Schools - Rules for Engagement - Education Week

For my circumstance, this offer does not apply, as I work k-8. And while prevalence of use in my grade level is lower, we are certainly not immune in middle school. The police here do carry naloxone in their patrol cars - so I am not sure that i'd push to get this in my school and have one more item to manage, check and ultimately discard once it expires.

I app,iced for it. Haven't heard back yet, but we were able to do online training and apply for 2 doses.

did the online training have ceus? if so did you have to take the narcan offer afterward? Every drop counts and free ceus are always nice
