Dear Local Health Directors, Pierre and I in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch of the NC Division of Public Health are offering a 2 hour training on opiates and methamphetamine awareness for public workers (nurses, law enforcement, social workers, EMTs, home health, etc.) on potential concerns when visiting homes and other locations where opiates and methamphetamine have been used or manufactured. Some of the areas we discuss include statistics on drug use in North Carolina, recognition of signs and symptoms of drug use, Narcan administration, signs that may suggest illicit drug making, and how to protect yourself. We have presented (often more than once) at approximately 85 counties(including the Cherokee Reservation) throughout the state and our goal is to reach all 100 counties. There is no cost involved and our schedule is flexible. If you are interested, please contact Pierre at 919-707-5962 to schedule a time. We would love to come present.
