Overdose Prevention

The Regional Overdose Prevention Specialists (ROPS) conduct individual and group training sessions to educate and distribute Naloxone kits to individuals in the community who are affected by opiate use and overdose. If your agency also, works directly with opioid users or if you or a loved one is affected by the opioid crisis, please contact one of our ROPS to schedule a training.
