BISMARCK, ND ( KXNET ) — Heartview and Bismarck Burleigh Public Health (BBPH) are working together to provide a free Narcan training.

According to a news release, the training is taking place at 12 p.m. on July 11 at the new BBPH building at 407 S 26th St in Bismarck.

“Training our community, and workplaces in the use of Narcan is an important life-saving solution,” said Opioid Treatment Program Case Manager Cathy Palczewski. “Safe communities are strong communities. Heartview Foundation is happy to partner with BBPH because this training helps both value people’s lives and saves people’s lives.”

Those who attend will learn how to recognize an overdose and how to administer Narcan, and will also get a free Narcan kit.

“Our goal is to train the public on signs and symptoms of an overdose, the immediate actions they should take to get first responders to the scene, and steps to stabilize and potentially revive an individual who has overdosed,” said SAP Coordinator, Susan Kahler.

However, registration is limited, you can register by calling (701) 355-1597 or online .
