Naloxone
All B.C. universities and colleges are required to install naloxone kits on campus. Naloxone can reverse the effects of an overdose from opioids. The kits, located in designated cabinets, come with instructions and are mounted in the vicinity of emergency phone locations.
If you suspect an overdose, there's no time to waste.
- Call 911 immediately. An overdose is a medical emergency.
- Then, call Campus Public Safety (CPS) at 778-782-4500 and follow the SAVE ME steps.
- Give Naloxone and stay nearby to support until first responders arrive.
Additional resources for overdose prevention and harm reduction are available on the Health and Counselling - Overdose Prevention and Response page.
Please see this page for more detailed information.
