Interactive virtual reality workshop: how to respond to an opioid overdose
May 28 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join this interactive opioid overdose simulation workshop, using virtual reality headsets. The goal is to walk through the steps for recognizing and responding to an opioid overdose and administering naloxone to someone who is unconscious in time to revive them. The training walks participants through each step, including how to support the person after they wake up. Before entering into the headsets we will review together the signs of an opioid overdose, and steps to respond. There will be time to debrief and ask questions at the end.
What is unique about this training?
- Trial, error & feedback: Practice giving naloxone, try different options, get feedback and try again.
- Realistic scenarios: Engage with an avatar in a scenario that reflects real-life experiences. The procedure for responding to an overdose reflects the most recent evidence and input from experts.
- Co-created and trauma-informed: Developed with people who use substances or have experience with opioid overdose, the scenarios emphasize responding in a way that is safe, respectful and non-judgmental.
