NARCAN Training

Baltimore is leading in the Opioid crisis--as more Baltimore residents are over-dosing & dying because they purchase drugs that are "laced" with Fentanyl.
According to In the first 3 months of 2020, there were 515 opioid deaths which is why our partnership with the local Health Department is critical in saving people's lives. Residents and staff learn how to administer NARCAN as well as learn how to take safety precautions when the NARCAN administered.
It's That Time to STOP Smoking
Thanks to CEASE, residents are learning how they can kick the habit of smoking. Over 76% of the residents have indicated that they have smoked for over 11-20 years and over 28% indicated that they smoke 6-10 cigarettes daily.
Yvonne who leads the class has given residents alternatives to smoking
(changing people, places and things). Weekly, residents are given home assignments to complete--one that tracks how many cigarettes that they smoked in the previous week and identifying what triggers did they faced when they smoked.
