The Youth Advocacy & Research Collaborative offers a Youth Overdose Prevention Training that teaches you 1) what opioids are and how they impact us, 2) how to recognize & respond to an overdose with naloxone, and 3) additional ways to keep yourself, friends, family, and community safe. This training is harm-reduction oriented and includes discussions on the War on Drugs and drug policy.

The YARC has completed Youth Overdose Prevention trainings in the Greater Boston Area and beyond. We have completed trainings at high schools, universities, and youth and young adult organizations in Boston, Newton, Roxbury, Dorchester, Holyoke, Lawrence, and more!

If you think your school or organization may be interested, fill out a request for a free training using the link below. We can accommodate in-person or virtual trainings, though we feel these trainings are more impactful in person!
