**This hybrid training is being offered in-person at the Talbott Event Center, and via Zoom. Make sure to pick the correct session you'd like to attend: on-site or online. 

In the 2019 Legislative Session, Washington State Legislature passed Substitute Senate Bill 5380. This requires school districts with 2,000 students or more to obtain and maintain at least one set of opioid overdose reversal medication doses in each of its high schools. This workshop will train designated school personnel how to distribute or administer the school owned opioid reversal agent.

In partnership with the WSU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals Sciences, the Rayce Rudeen Foundation offers training for Washington nurses to administer NARCAN®, the nasal spray version of the overdose-reversal drug naloxone, in the event of an overdose. Along with this training, the Rayce Rudeen Foundation provides NARCAN® training kits for each nurse to take back to their school. In 2021, a new element was added to this training: a protocol session focused on procedures for the school to follow—as well as follow-up resources to connect students’ families with addiction counseling and treatment.

The training will provide: 

• Data & trends on the current opioid and fentanyl epidemic
• The ability to identify an overdose or accidental poisoning
• Narcan training: what it is, how it works in the body, and how to administer a dose
• Protocol and best practices for storage and post-event support
• Q&A with a qualified panel

Join in-person at the Talbott Event Center (4202 S Regal St, Spokane, WA) or via Zoom (link provided upon registration).

For those attending the training in-person, you will receive a Narcan training kit for each facility. This kit contains two doses of Narcan, a safety kit, a video that will guide you through administration of Narcan, and a refresher video.
