“It’s incredibly important that we understand that overdoses can happen to anyone. I’m proud to continue to work with the State as we take tremendous steps to fund drug assistance programs and provide treatment for opioid use. It is also critical that we ensure all of us have the knowledge and tools at our disposal to stop an overdose in the process. This training gives people the tools to literally save a life and I’m happy to bring this and so many other ongoing resources to the people of South Queens,” said Pheffer Amato.
For those interested in attending the Narcan training please reach out to the Office of Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato at 718-945-9550 to reserve a spot.
