Citizen Opioid Responders (COR) is an Indiana University online naloxone training program that seeks to reduce deaths from opioid overdoses by recruiting, training, and linking citizen responders to these events so they can administer lifesaving Naloxone/Narcan. In an effort to increase the number of persons trained to administer naloxone/NARCAN, Dearborn County Health Department has partnered with IU to bring the COR program to the Dearborn community. Sign up and complete this FREE training and present your certificate of completion to the Dearborn County Health Department to receive FREE doses of naloxone/NARCAN.
About the Program
Opioid overdoses exact a tremendous cost in lives and place incredible strain on emergency response systems. Naloxone has been developed to counteract overdoses; however, the nature of these events requires a rapid response, something that challenges emergency responders in both lightly populated rural areas as well as densely populated urban communities.
The COR program aims to disseminate online training to empower community members to carry naloxone/Narcan and to be prepared to respond to overdoses in their community.
