NYSDOH Opioid Overdose Prevention Initiative's registered overdose programs offer community overdose trainings for anyone in the community - regardless of level of understanding or knowledge about drugs and overdose. Trainings are offered in convenient formats (videos, in-person, virtual, one on one, small group, etc.). The length of trainings can vary, however key components of the workshops should include:

• Signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose;
• List steps on how to respond to an overdose and how to administer naloxone;
• Define the NYSDOH cost-saving program Naloxone Co-payment Assistance Program (N-CAP) and locate a pharmacy to purchase naloxone with health insurance plan prescription coverage OR out of pocket
• Identify the statewide directory to locate free naloxone education and related harm reduction materials & services (e.g., syringe access programs, fentanyl and xylazine test strips, etc.)
• Describe the benefits of the NYS 911 Good Samaritan Law including the importance of calling emergency medical services.
