Oswego County Non-Profits to Offer Free Narcan Training

OSWEGO COUNTY – Over the past five years, opioid-related overdoses have been on the rise in Oswego County.

Teresa Woolson, founder of the VOW Foundation, shown here provides a free training this past summer at The Connection Point in Oswego.

Narcan has been shown to be an effective and safe way to reverse an overdose. In response to this rise, the VOW Foundation (vow-foundation.org) and the Desens House (desenshouse.org) will collaborate to offer a Narcan training with a discussion about chronic pain.

This lecture and training will be offered free of charge at The NC Hub, 90 Wilson Rd, Central Square, NY 13036 on Wednesday September 28 at noon.

The VOW Foundation (Victor Orlando Woolson Foundation) was created to raise awareness of the dangers of synthetic drugs/bath salts, to advocate for stronger legislation against synthetics for the health and safety of young people, and to educate individuals and/or organizations in advocating for or providing services to the mentally ill, homeless and/or low income youth in Oswego County.

The Desens House is a faith-based, community driven model for recovery that is specifically focused in supporting women struggling with Substance Use Disorder. The house will be opening in the city of Oswego this fall and the residential program is tentative to open next spring.
