Gateway Counseling Center is the Laurens County Alcohol and Drugs Commission. Part of Gateway’s role in Laurens County is being a community distributor for Narcan. This means that if you or if you know someone in need of Narcan, they can contact the agency and receive Narcan along with Fentanyl testing strips for free. The purpose of this training presentation is to educate on what opioids are, what are they used for, who is at risk, what is fentanyl and the lethal dosage. You will also learn or review how Narcan works, the steps to distribute Narcan in the event of an opioid related overdose. This training presentation will also give information on how to properly store or dispose of unused prescription medications and learn about the overdose detection mapping application program to track the number of opioid related overdoses in Lauren County.
Registration deadline is Monday November 4th by 12:00 noon.

Lesson delivery in a virtual setting is different than a face-to-face classroom for sharing content. However, the focus must be on engaging students, meaningful interactions between the students, and between the students and the instructor. At a time when substantive intervention and evidence of engagement are needed, AVID provides best practices that make it a win for students and a win for instructors!
