BERRIEN COUNTY, Mich. - A Michiana health department hoping to prevent overdose deaths by offering free Narcan training to the community on August 30 and 31.
The Berrien County Health Department will conduct the training drive thru style. Sessions are 15 minutes each. During that time, health professionals will teach residents how to use Narcan and its generic version, naloxone. Each person who completes the training will get a free Narcan kit.
The first of two sessions will be held on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon and again from 1 to 4 p.m. at the health department's Benton Harbor location, 2149 E. Napier Ave.
The second session will be held on National Overdose Awareness Day, Thursday, from 9 a.m. to noon and again from 1 to 4 p.m. at the health department's Niles location, 1205 N. Front St.
