SUMMARY:Webinar: Drug Poisoning Response and Aftercare
DESCRIPTION:-- Webinar Description: --\n\nFrontline workers in shelters, 
 outreach, and homelessness services are increasingly responding to drug 
 poisonings in their workplaces and communities. This webinar provides pr
 actical guidance on recognizing and responding to drug poisonings, while
  also addressing the emotional and operational realities staff face in t
 hese situations.\n\nParticipants will learn how to identify the signs of
  opioid and stimulant drug poisonings, respond effectively using naloxon
 e and rescue breathing, and navigate safety and legal considerations suc
 h as the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act. The session will also explore
  what happens after a drug poisoning, including how to support individua
 ls who have been revived, respond to the impact on peers and bystanders,
  and facilitate staff debriefing and care following critical incidents.\
 n\nGrounded in harm reduction and trauma-informed practice, this session
  aims to build confidence, strengthen response skills, and support front
 line workers in providing compassionate, effective care in high-pressure
  situations.\n\n-- Instructor: Corey Ranger --\n\nInstructor Bio: Based
