RadMedic Naloxone Workshop

RadMedic is a network of street and protest medics that host weekly first aid workshops and trainings relevant to the environments we medic in. This means that we are acutely aware that care is politicized ; withheld from those who are not deemed worthy by the state, and provided on the condition that one obeys and maintains the status quo. Our main goal is to share first aid knowledge (outside of expensive certification programs !) so that we can all feel confident in responding to injuries or emergencies around us. In our trainings, expect a learning component and a practice component (usually in the form of scenario simulations) that meet everyone where they’re at — from experienced medic to absolute beginner.

 

Back by popular demand for a third time (!!), our Naloxone training goes beyond how to administer the life-saving medication. Over the course of these trainings, many people have shared a sentiment of not knowing what to do when they see someone who may need help but fear that they will disturb, upset, or scare the person if they approach them. This workshop is built with exactly that feeling in mind. It’ll include :

• So. Many. Practice. Scenarios.
• Group discussion about tricks to approaching people at first
• Information about what overdoses can look like
• Demonstration of nasal and intramuscular administration 
• Time to practice administration using expired Naloxone
