After the Narcan: Introduction to Five Minutes to Help for First Responders
An Online Introduction
Like many states around the country, New Jersey continues to experience a growing opioid epidemic. Among many professionals battling this epidemic on the front line are New Jersey’s First Responders. Historically, providers are not trained or equipped to offer substance abuse resources to patients, and most are not made aware of what resources are available. As a result, individuals that have suffered a near fatal overdose and refuse transport/further treatment are not offered or made aware of recovery resources. Many of these individuals are seen by the same EMS providers several times a week. In fact, it is not uncommon that EMS clinicians are the only health professional with whom these individuals will interact.
The goal of this online one-hour introduction class is to not only standardize the emergency treatment of the overdose patient using naloxone, but also to educate providers on proper communication with individuals following treatment from a suspect opioid overdose and supply providers with recovery resources that are available locally, regionally, and statewide.
This online class is available to all First Responders at No Charge.
For providers seeking EMS credit, you will be prompted to enter your EMS ID# at the conclusion of the on-line training module. There will be a 10-question test at the conclusion; to receive a certificate of completion, provider must score at least 70%.
