Become an Opioid Overdose Responder

Help Save Lives in Our Community

Learn to become a Naxos Opioid Overdose Responder who volunteers to go to the scene of an opioid overdose, administer naloxone, and provide resources and support.

If you or a loved one have an opioid use disorder or if you want to take action to stop the rising number of overdose deaths in our community, join us to learn how to become an Opioid Overdose responder. Presented by Bendable Collection Author Joanne Kelley Codgell and her Naxos Neighbors team, this training will give you the tools to act now and make a difference.

The training will cover how to use the Naxos OD app to volunteer to go to the scene of an opioid overdose, administer naloxone, and provide resources and support.

Registration is recommended but not required. Walk-ins are welcome as long as space is available.
