SWANK Overdose Prevention and Response Training
Wednesday, May 12 @ 7pm – 9pm
Location upon RSVP
This event is open to SWOP-NYC and SWANK members only. RSVP to sarahjenny@gmail.com by May 7th.
Cover: FREE

Facilitated by Stephen Crowe, Harm Reduction Coordinator, FROST’D

Heroin (and other opioid) overdoses are a common cause of death among users, yet these deaths are often preventable through education, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and when possible, through the administration of Naloxone (Narcan). In this workshop, participants
will start by learning the essentials of preventing opioid overdose deaths including prevention, recognition, and action. Participants will receive a certificate as Trained Overdose Responders and become qualified to train heroin or opioid users and colleagues at their own facilities on how to prevent an overdose. We will learn about fatal drug combinations, how to identify and respond to an overdose. Participants will practice overdose response, rescue
breathing, and Naloxone administration.

Time is already flying! I am two weeks into graduate school and already learning quite a bit as well as feeling overwhelmed orienting myself and absorbing all the new information and skills. This feeling shouldn’t necessarily be perceived as negative, however. I am thinking about projects I want to work on while here. I am remembering Kara Lynch, the co-chair of my Division III, at Hampshire suggesting I create light boxes for the mixed media pieces in my thesis (Division III) project and feeling like it was out of reach at that time. I feel pretty confident that I am going to be able to create light boxes now at ITP — but even more exciting, to make them interactive.

So much to look forward to and so much to reflect on.

Next week I am working with a classmate on creating a dynamic processing project of a skyscape with birds.
