Thank you to Dana and Northampton County Drug and Alcohol for coming out to Safe Harbor today to provide a free Narcan class to our staff and residents. All who participated learned about Narcan, how to use it, and received free emergency kits containing doses of Narcan to keep with them.

The vital skills and information participants gained today will better equip them to render life-saving care in the case that they ever come across someone experiencing an overdose. We are so proud that so many of our residents took the time today to attend the class. It shows just how much they care about being able to help others. ❤️

We didn’t get pictures of the class, but are including a picture of the risevanlv, another initiative of Northampton County Drug and Alcohol which has also come to Safe Harbor in the past to provide recovery services and access to Narcan.
