[VDH.VermontPrevention] Invitation: Brief Emergency Medicine Interventions to Prevent Opioid Overdoses

[Sara Haimowitz]

Dear Friends,

I hope this note finds you well.  I write regarding a series of trainings funded by the Vermont Department of Health and coordinated and deployed by the Center for Health and Learning, "Brief Emergency Medicine Interventions to Prevent Opioid Overdoses <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-brief-interventions-to-prevent-opioid-overdoses-tickets-133223355643>”.   

"Brief Emergency Medicine Interventions to Prevent Opioid Overdoses" provides training allowing Emergency Medicine associates to have needed and critical conversations with people who are at risk related to opioid use.  The training has particular relevance and was designed for Emergency Department staff, Emergency Medical Services staff and volunteers, and Department of Corrections personnel from parole departments.    

I would appreciate it if you could please forward information about these training opportunities to your contact list.  And please do feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. More information below, and link to register here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-brief-interventions-to-prevent-opioid-overdoses-tickets-133223355643>.

Thank you!

Best,
