Rosemont College invites faculty, staff, and students to attend an upcoming Narcan® (naloxone) Training on March 12, 2026 at 12:00pm in the Library Commons. This important session supports campus safety, addiction awareness, and collaboration. Pizza will be provided for all participants.
In partnership with Montgomery County, the 45 minute Narcan® Training equips attendees with life saving knowledge and practical skills that can save lives. Participants will also receive a Narcan® kit at the conclusion of the session.
During the training, participants will learn to:
• Recognize the signs of an opioid overdose
• Safely administer Narcan®
• Reduce the stigma surrounding addiction
• Respond confidently in an emergency
Why Narcan® Training Matters on Campus
Narcan®, also known as naloxone, can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose and restore breathing while emergency services are enroute. It is safe, easy to administer, and has saved countless lives nationwide.
Addiction affects individuals and families across all communities. Substance use disorder does not discriminate. Hence, college campuses are not immune to this reality. That truth makes Narcan® Training an essential part of maintaining a safe and well prepared campus.
Every campus is a community, and emergencies can happen at any time. Rosemont’s Narcan® Training prepares the campus to act quickly and effectively. Minutes matter during an overdose, and an immediate response can save a life.
Participants gain practical skills through guided instruction. They leave empowered to recognize warning signs and take action without hesitation. Knowledge reduces fear and builds confidence in critical moments.
As a college committed to dignity and care for the whole person, Rosemont prioritizes education and awareness. This training reflects our mission to support one another with compassion and responsibility.
Confronting the Stigma of Addiction
Narcan® Training also addresses the stigma surrounding addiction. Addiction is a complex medical and psychological condition, not a moral failing. Stigma often prevents individuals from seeking help or sharing their struggles.
The session promotes person first language and informed discussion. Participants will explore the science of addiction and the realities of recovery.
We encourage the entire Rosemont community to attend this training opportunity and take part to further enhance our safe, compassionate environment.
