In the trainings, participants will: 
-  Learn how to identify the signs of an overdose;
-  Learn who to contact if there is a suspected overdose;
-  Learn what to do in those critical moments;
-  Learn about alternative pain management;
-  Learn about treatment resources; and
-  Learn how to prevent an overdose.
