Citizen Opioid Responders (COR) is an 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.

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.
