The opioid epidemic is one of the most tragic, complex issues in our society. In 2020, more than 91,000 individual lives were taken by drug overdose, a 31% increase over 2019. Preliminary statistics for 2021 are predicting the number to be even higher.  It is important that we act now and learn the critical steps to take in case of an emergency. On Wednesday, April 13, at 6:00 P.M., local nonprofit, A Promise to Jordan, will host a Narcan and QPR training session.  The training will take place virtually via Zoom and in-person at “The Barn” at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 124 Old Farms Road, Simsbury.
