Help Keep Our Community Safe
This 90-minute training educates participants on stigma, harm reduction, the opioid epidemic, and how to safely recognize and respond to an opioid poisoning with Naloxone/Narcan Intramuscular and Intranasal kits.
Naloxone is a safe and effective tool for responding to a suspected opioid poisoning. Training is free and open to students, staff, and faculty. If you are a member of the Dalhousie surrounding community, we also welcome you to attend Naloxone training. Community members can register by emailing livewell@dal.ca.
You can pick up a kit and will receive a training certificate from the Take Home Naloxone Program. Naloxone & Opioid Poisoning Response Training can also be added to your Co-Curricular Record.

Accessing Naloxone on Campus
Naloxone kits are co-located with AEDs (Defibrillators), and easily accessible in a suspected opioid poisoning emergency on Dalhousie Halifax, Truro and Kings College campuses. AED and Naloxone locations are listed for quick reference in the Dal Safe campus map or the DalU app campus map.
Naloxone is a safe and effective tool for reversing opioid poisonings. Members of the Dalhousie community are encouraged to carry Naloxone and can access Naloxone kits in the AED boxes in the event of a suspected opioid poisoning on campus at any time.
Dalhousie Security and the Dalhousie Medical Campus Response Team (DMCRT) are trained and carry Naloxone kits to all security calls on campus. If you are on campus and suspect an opioid poisoning, call Dal Security Emergency Line at 902-494-4109 or send a message via DalSafe App Chat.
Students can also access a Naloxone kit through booking an appointment with a nurse at Student Health & Wellness (Halifax and Truro campuses) or by emailing livewell@dal.ca to arrange picking up a kit.
