Training (Heroin &amp; Opioid Prevention Education) as part of the County\u2019s Fentanyl Awareness campaign, Fake is Real.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation and training are the first steps in the County fighting against substance abuse and addiction,\u201d says Lamont G. McClure. \u201cWe will soon be hitting homes with a new way to keep illegal drugs away from our children and society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Participants will learn about the different types of opioids, identify signs and symptoms of opioid abuse and overdose, know how to safely store and dispose of prescription medications, and identify community resources for people facing addiction. Participants also learn how to administer Narcan, a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Free NARCAN kits, courtesy of the City of Bethlehem Health Bureau, will be available.
