Suffolk County Announces New Narcan Training Classes

County Executive Steve Bellone and Dr. James Tomarken, Commissioner of Health, are encouraging residents to take advantage of scheduled Opioid Overdose Prevention Program-Narcan Training Classes.

The training, which meets New York State Department of Health requirements, will enable participants to recognize an opioid overdose, administer intranasal Narcan and take additional steps until EMS arrives. Participants will receive a certificate of completion and an emergency resuscitation kit that includes nasal Narcan. The classes will take place as follows:

The Ugly Truth (with Narcan Dispensing)

Sponsored by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.

Although we have all read and heard the headlines about Heroin in our neighborhoods, and the

dangers of easy access to powerful prescriptions and medication, we rarely hear “The Ugly Truth” behind these headlines. The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office will discuss how to recognize heroin and prescription drug abuse among teenagers and what actions parents

can and should take.
