This web app is a project of the St. Paul’s Hospital Emergency Department with assistance from St. Paul’s Addiction Medicine and funding from St. Paul’s Foundation. It gives emergency rooms and other approved Take Home Naloxone sites an online training tool for people who use opioids and their loved ones to learn how to respond to an overdose with their kit.
