Overdose Preparedness In Schools = YOUNG LIVES SAVED
In 2021, fentanyls were identified in 77.14% of adolescent overdose deaths*. Opioid overdoses continue to rise, especially among young adults.
Knowing that the health and safety of your students & staff is a top priority, and in light of the persistent concern of opioid and fentanyl overdoses impacting schools nationwide, you need to be prepared and have naloxone (Narcan) on hand.
Fentanyl overdose is a serious threat on College and University grounds. As the front line officers dealing with these emergency situations, many campus security details are carrying Naloxone Nasal Spray. Narcan is also being added to AED cabinets on campuses.
Minutes count when responding to an opioid overdose emergency. NaloxKit can help ensure your Naloxone is readily accessible for a prompt and effective response.
Getting naloxone and training staff are solid first steps.
Visibility and accessibility will maximize the impact on saving lives.
Dr. Rahul Gupta, director of White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy and Miguel Cardona, US Secretary of Education, said every school in the United States should carry naloxone.
They added, “faculty and students alike should be prepared to use the nasal spray to stop an overdose. We want to share resources that could help your school and community prevent drug use before it begins and keep students alive long enough to get the help they need in the event of an overdose.” - Gupta and Cardona wrote.
Where Schools Are Allowed or Required to Have Naloxone
Many states have laws that clearly state schools or their employees may store, possess, or administer naloxone, the opioid reversal drug. A smaller group of states require that some subset of schools have naloxone.
The American Medical Association Endorses Co-Location of Naloxone and AED installations.
By making naloxone more accessible, particularly where AEDs are located in public spaces, we can help prevent more opioid overdoses and save lives.” said Dr. Mukkamala.
