Program Abstract:
UBC Student Health Service in conjunction with Health Promotion, has developed a program in response to the opiod crisis. This entails creating a course that instructs people on how to recognize and respond to an overdose. Subsequent workshops teach students, faculty and staff about overdoses in general and how to then respond with a Naloxone kit.
