TitanWell Health Promotion Services’ Substance Intervention and Prevention team will provide virtual and in-person opioid overdose response and naloxone training for students, faculty and staff this semester.
The opioid overdose response and naloxone training program began in response to the opioid overdose epidemic, both locally and nationally. TitanWell has trained more than 500 students and several departments’ staff, resulting in one reported reversal using naloxone.
The opioid overdose response and naloxone training consists of educating the Titan community about the signs of opioid overdose, the steps on how to assist someone with an overdose and how to administer naloxone to reverse opioid overdose. At the end of the training, CSUF students receive a naloxone kit consisting of two doses of naloxone and two fentanyl test strips at no cost. Uniquely, this year, faculty and staff can also participate on certain dates and receive naloxone kits thanks to a donation from OC Multi-Ethnic Collaborative of Communities Agencies.
