Community

Sponsored by the Newport and Portsmouth Prevention Coalitions, as a continuation of our Opioid Information session from March 9th. This training session is open to all teens and adults, with no minimum age restrictions. The training will include basic information about common opioids, signs to look for in an overdose, a review of the Good Samaritan Law, how to administer the nasal form of Narcan, and a question and answer session. 

No needles or injectable forms of Narcan will be available.

To help support and honor the Portsmouth Prevention Coalition Wellness Week, we ask you to join us in a presentation by David Neil, the Violent Crime Prevention and Community Outreach Coordinator from the United State's Attorney's Office. A short film will be shown called Circles and Silence, an overview of the epidemic will be presented, and multiple speakers will be present to talk about their experiences. A question and answer session will follow.
