From mayal006 at plattsburgh.edu Thu Feb 5 14:48:31 2026 From: mayal006 at plattsburgh.edu (Marco Ayala-Perez) Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 09:48:31 -0500 Subject: [Important Information for Employees] Narcan training is tomorrow, but you can still sign up today! Message-ID: Dear Cardinals, *Wellness Week * is a great opportunity to connect with services on-campus and to learn about self care tools. The Student Health & Counseling Center recognizes that there are Cardinals who are impacted by the unprecedented opioid and overdose epidemic in our country. We also recognize the growing danger of fentanyl and xylazine in drugs such as cocaine, MDMA/ecstasy/Molly and counterfeit pills. Narcan can reverse the effects of a drug overdose from fentanyl, heroin and prescription opioids, and has saved countless lives. The Alliance for Positive Health and the Student Health and Counseling Center are sponsoring a free Narcan Training Class on February 6th from 2 to 3:30 pm. at the Cardinal Lounge at the ACC. This training is open to students, faculty and staff. With participation you will receive a free Narcan kit (while supplies last). To register click here or scan the QR code below. Free Narcan (also called naloxone) can be ordered through a new portal on the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Support (OASAS) website; naloxone is also available without a prescription from retail pharmacies. If you suspect someone has overdosed, call 911 immediately and then administer naloxone. The NYS DOH and SUNY have produced a video on how to administer nasal naloxone: watch it here . Fentanyl and xylazine test strips, and directions for their use, can be found in the Student Health & Counseling Center’s Self-Care Station, located in our lobby. Test strips can also be ordered on the OASAS website. Substance abuse treatment information can be found on the Student Health & Counseling Center web page. If you have any questions, or would like to make an appointment with one of our counseling or medical providers, please reach out to the Student Health & Counseling Center at healthcenter at platsburgh.edu or 518-564-2187. We are open M-F, 8 AM - 4 PM. [image: narcan (1).png] -- MARCO AYALA, B.Comm. Student Health & Counseling Center Admin.
