Hi, I\u2019m Jacqueline and I serve as the Program Coordinator for the Prescription Drug Overdose (PDO), Substance-Exposed Children (SEC) and Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) initiatives here in Region 1. My focus is reducing opioid harm and fatalities in our communities by increasing awareness of opioid dangers, as well as reducing stigma and promoting empathy for people with opioid and other substance use disorders (OUD\/SUD). I teach community members how to save a life using naloxone (Narcan). I train first responders and other key community sectors how to engage family members, friends and bystanders present at an opioid emergency by providing naloxone and resources to prevent another emergency. I also help agencies, businesses and organizations in the region earn state recognition as Recovery Friendly Workplaces (RFWs), developing ongoing partnerships that foster supportive environments for employees facing mental health and\/or substance use concerns. Finally, I help remove barriers to accessing naloxone by installing free cabinets with kits across the region. If you are interested in a training, receiving free naloxone or a free naloxone cabinet and kits, please feel free to contact me!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Hi, my name is Liz Toth, and I serve with the Connecticut National Guard Counterdrug Task Force Program working in Region 1. Our primary focus is on prevention, education, and overdose response initiatives aimed at reducing the demand for illegal narcotics within our communities we serve. We provide training for nurses, law enforcement, firefighters, and school administrators on how to administer naloxone to help save lives and ensure participants are equipped with essential resources in an Opioid Overdose Rescue Kit (OORK). I also help coordinate the \u201cStashed Away\u201d Trailer Resource, an interactive mobile trailer designed like a teenager\u2019s bedroom. This program educates parents, guardians, and community members on how to identify hidden drugs and paraphernalia. If you\u2019re interested in a free naloxone cabinet with naloxone, training opportunities, or booking the \u201cStashed Away\u201d trailer, please feel free to reach out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
