Cranford To Hold Free Narcan Training And Distribution

Learn how to administer this life-saving medication to someone suffering from an opioid overdose.

Narcan, generically known as naloxone, is a medication that can reverse or reduce the effects of an opioid overdose. You do not need to be a medical professional to administer Narcan.

The Cranford Prevention & Wellness Alliance, together with the Cranford Police Department, is sponsoring a free Narcan training and distribution event at the Cranford Community Center. It will be on Tuesday, October 15 between 7 and 8:30 pm.

On this week’s episode I speak with Karen Bennett from the Alliance and Captain Matt Nazzaro from the Cranford Police Department about the event and how Narcan is used.
