Anyone can learn how to spot an overdose, administer naloxone, and save lives. The training resources listed below are just a sample of what is available online and statewide. This list does not reflect endorsement of any specific training materials.

In Minnesota, the Steve Rummler HOPE Network is one of many local organizations that provide hands-on opioid response training. Visit their Naloxone and Training webpage for training resources specific to individuals and organizations.
