The Mayor’s Office of Nighttime Economy has paired up with the Health Department to roll out a series of lifesaving trainings aimed at hospitality workers. Detailed on the
city’s official website
, this initiative is set to offer both Narcan administration and Stop the Bleed techniques to those on the frontline of after-hours entertainment.
The significance of these trainings can’t be overstated, especially considering the rising opioid epidemic and the potential for accidents or violence in crowded public settings. Hospitality professionals will be given the tools and know-how to quickly and effectively respond to emergencies like overdoses and life-threatening bleeding. According to
the announcement
, trainings are designed for maximum reach, with sessions being planned across various neighborhoods.
Those who gain this important expertise will not only help their community but also be rewarded. The Broadside is offering a perk: the first 15 people to attend each training at the Broad Theater will get a free movie ticket as a thank-you for their commitment to public service.
Attendees at the Narcan training will also receive free Narcan kits to help respond to overdoses. Those in the Stop the Bleed course will learn important skills for controlling bleeding after an injury. This combined training emphasizes the importance of being prepared and acting quickly to save lives in emergencies.
