The White House’s “Challenge to Save Lives from Overdose” calls on stakeholders to expand training on and access to opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone, according to a March 13 news release.
The call to action is asking businesses across the country, both public and private, to offer employees training on the use of opioid overdose reversal medications, as well as to keep the medications in first-aid kits. The administration is also encouraging the distribution of reversal medications to employees and customers.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
