SOUTH HADLEY – An opiate overdose prevention and Narcan training planned for Thursday at 5 p.m. at the South Hadley Town Hall has been cancelled due to the snowstorm that hit the region.
The training is part of “Saving Lives in Hampshire County,” a series of free sessions organized and sponsored by Hampshire HOPE, the county’s opioid response coalition operated though the city of Northampton’s Health Department, the Northwestern District Attorney’s Office, Tapestry and the Quaboag Hills Community Coalition.
Other training dates will be held Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 3 p.m. at the Easthampton School Department, 50 Payson Ave. in Easthampton; Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 3 p.m. at the Hilltown Community Health Center, 9 Russell Road in Huntington; Tuesday, Feb. 21, at noon at the Granby Public Library, 297 East State St. in Granby; and Wednesday, March 1, at 9 a.m. at the Unitarian Universalists Church, 121 North Pleasant St. in Amherst.
Additional sessions will be held in Northampton, Florence, Belchertown and Ware on dates, times and locations to be announced.
People should RSVP if they plan to attend a training session by calling Cherry Sullivan at (413) 587-1219 or emailing csullivan@northamptonma.gov. as doing so will help if a training needs to be rescheduled. People can still attend without having RSVP’d, however.
