This training will provide participants with a general understanding of stimulants and prepares them with the tools to help someone during an overamping event (a stimulant overdose), including how to recognize and respond to an overamping event, how to identify physical and psychological overamping symptoms, and how to calm someone down and otherwise help de-escalate unstable situations. |
