Those who attend will learn about the signs and symptoms of a drug overdose, resources that are available locally, and how to administer naloxone. Attendees will also learn about rescue breathing and family preparedness in the event of an overdose, organizers said.
Space for the event is limited, and one dose of naloxone will be distributed for every household.
Those interested in registering can contact Mallory Perrotti at mperrotti@buckscounty.org or 215-444-2785.
