Shared Services Staff Updates • Jackie is preparing a presentation on Narcan Training Basics 101. Burlington and Lexington are interested in the presentation and would like to review it at the next Advisory Board meeting. Wilmington does not need a Narcan program as the Wilmington PD runs a program for their town. • Joanne advised that Narcan is only issued to a specific community and cannot be shared as a controlled substance certificate is needed. There is an application online and the state physician can be used to make a purchase. Narcan can be obtained for free with a monthly reporting requirement or at a discount with no reporting requirement. • Joanne would like Jackie and Katy to attend the Opioid Task Force meeting that will be held at some point in August. • Jackie will be holding a Hoarding for First Responders presentation for the Burlington PD. Both Lexington and Wilmington are interested in this training and would like to see the presentation first. • Jackie and Tahycha are signed for the Hoarding Training. Jackie is working on a hoarding resource guide. Joanne would like a reference guide for opioid/substance abuse resources. • Catch my Breath Training consists of four thirty minute lessons. Burlington will not be going forward with this training but Wilmington would like to continue with this program and training.
