New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso, Village of Massapequa Park Mayor Daniel Pearl and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman are hosting a free Narcan Training on Friday, March 15, 2024, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Village Hall in Massapequa Park. A trained specialist from the Nassau County Office of Mental Health, Chemical Dependency & Developmental Disabilities Services will discuss signs of an opiate overdose, overdose risk factors, recognizing and responding to an overdose, administration of Naloxone (Narcan), and new treatment approaches. Each registered participant will receive a free Narcan kit at the after the training.

Registration is required. Seating is limited to the first 50 registrants. To reserve your seat, please call Assemblyman Durso’s office at 516-541-4598.

“I strongly encourage all community members to attend this free, life-saving program,” said Assemblyman Durso. “With record high overdose deaths occurring last year from Fentanyl and other opioids, it’s imperative that everyone knows how to recognize an overdose and safely administer Narcan. Lives depend on it.”

“Thanks to Assemblyman Durso's efforts with Nassau County’s Office of Mental Health, Chemical Dependency and Developmental Disability Services, we help to provide our residents with educational support and life-saving training in case of an emergency," said Massapequa Park Mayor Pearl.
