On Wednesday, Jan. 27, from 7 to 9 p.m., Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and County Legislators Donald Mackenzie and Delia DeRiggi-Whitton join with North Shore School District officials to host a free Overdose Prevention Seminar at North Shore High School.
Residents will learn how to administer Narcan, the lifesaving antidote that can reverse the fatal effects of an Opiate overdose, and learn the warning signs of drug addiction, treatment options, personal stories of recovery and more.
