Naloxone information and training session well attended in west Lethbridge
LETHBRIDGE – People from all walks of life want to know how to potentially save someone’s life and reverse an overdose. That’s what you might notice attending one of the Opioid Awareness and Naloxone training sessions taking place in Lethbridge over the next few weeks.
At the first session, held at The Crossings Branch of the Lethbridge Public Library, about two dozen people attended, including young people, health care workers, former addicts, parents, caregivers and those who were simply curious about the extent to which opioid drugs have permeated society in general.
The first session was held March 23. The next two take place March 30 and April 4.
“I used to be an addict,” explains one man who declined to be named. “I wish these kits had been available back in my day.”
