Mangano today announced four free public Narcan training seminars where residents can learn how to administer a lifesaving antidote which can reverse the fatal effects of an Opioid overdose. Narcan is simply administered through a nasal spray, by those who complete the 90-minute training. Trainees who are over the age of 18 will receive a free nasal Narcan kit.
