Good morning partners,

Sharing the training opportunity below with you all.  Have a great day!

As we have all come to learn too well, the opioid crisis in Canada has
devasting effects on individuals, families, communities, and our health
care systems. Tragically, this crisis has worsened since the onset of the
COVID-19 pandemic, with a staggering 7,560 deaths recorded in 2021.  This
represents a 72% increase over 2020!

To address these alarming and increasing figures, Canadian Red Cross
through funding from Health Canada, has developed a *free, online
course*, First
Aid for Opioid Poisoning Emergencies.

The course takes approximately 45-60 minutes to complete.  Attendees

   - Learn about opioids and how they affect the body
   - Explore factors that can affect the risk of an opioid poisoning
   - Discuss ways to reduce the influence of stigma and gain strategies for
   self-care
   - Understand how naloxone works and how to administer naloxone

The course aims to empower participants to become knowledgeable and
confident in how to respond to an opioid poisoning emergency, and also
enables them to *receive a free nasal naloxone kit upon completion of the
course**. *Naloxone is a life-saving medication that temporarily reverses
the life-threatening effects of opioid poisoning.*
