Naloxone Training
Overdose prevention aligns with LMU’s commitment to the health and safety of our community and campus-wide involvement in comprehensive and ongoing wellness education. Naloxone is an overdose reversal drug that enables breathing.
Training is simple and required to receive naloxone via this program. Naloxone will not harm someone if you give it to them and they are not overdosing on an opioid.
