The KYHRC has provided Naloxone training to more than 200 governmental agencies, non-profits, schools, and businesses. Many of these training sessions have been virtual and are now more accessible on their website.
Naloxone, which is more commonly known by the brand name Narcan®, reverses the effects of opioid overdose via injection. It attaches to the same parts of the brain that receive heroin and other opioids, and it blocks the opioids for 30-90 minutes to reverse the respiratory depression that would otherwise lead to death from overdose. Communities that participate in Naloxone education and use it see a 50% reduction in overdose cases. The KYHRC works to make education and resources more accessible than ever, online and in-person.
