Every third Saturday of the month, residents can
attend free Narcan training at 257 Lafayette Center. The training is the result
of a three-way partnership between the site’s tenants, Whole Stories Therapy,
Queer City Therapy and Western New York Mobile Overdose Prevention Services. WNY
Mobile OPS CEO Rashone Scott-Williams says although it’s important to learn how
to administer Narcan, prevention is also a key factor in avoiding an overdose
death. “We also give participants something so that they can test the drug
before they consume it,” she said. The training is held from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the center, 257 Lafayette Ave., Suite 103, is free
to attend and does not require registration. By Angela Caico
