Peer led Overdose Prevention, Intervention and Naloxone for People who use/used drugs
PLEASE NOTE THIS TRAINING IS FOR PEOPLE WHO USE OR HAVE USED DRUGS
Overview
This short session will cover:
- Overdose risk factors
- Identifying and responding to an overdose situation
- Administering Naloxone to save a life
- Myths and misconceptions
- Open discussion and Q&A
We are offering some free training in overdose response exclusively for people who use or have used drugs.
People who use/used drugs are exceptionally well placed to save lives and often appear to be overlooked when training is offered.
We hope that offering sessions for people who use/used only people may be more inclined to attend.
This will be an opportunity for learning how to recognise and help someone experiencing an overdose as well as a platform for discussion and debate around issues faced by people who use/used drugs being more central to the harm reduction initiatives in Scotland.

- Summarise drug-related deaths in Scotland
