Description
This project implements community-based hands-only CPR and Narcan training to educate participants at local community organizations on recognizing emergencies and confidently administering life-saving interventions.
Goals
Build a sustainable framework for integrated CPR and Narcan training that can be easily scaled and replicated by other organizations. Provide Community members with hands-only CPR training tailored to overdose scenarios to improve bystander response and confidence during emergencies. Educate participants on recognizing the signs of an opioid overdose and determining when to administer Narcan versus perform CPR.
