COSSAP Webinar
Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution Programs in Jails
Sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and in collaboration with the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Program (COSSAP) team, this webinar covers the fundamentals of overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs and the experience of implementing these programs in a correctional setting to help prevent incarcerated individuals from experiencing overdose-related fatalities upon their release. Implementing OEND programs in jails and prisons is a crucial next step in providing substance use education and lifesaving training to individuals in this otherwise inaccessible and high-risk population. During this webinar, participants can learn more about the essential elements of developing, implementing, and evaluating effective OEND programs as well as lessons learned from an overdose education program in a Wilmington, North Carolina, jail.
