AG Miyares to host Fentanyl awareness & Narcan training session

RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) — On Tuesday, Attorney General Jason Miyares will host a Fentanyl awareness and Narcan training session.

The free training is open to the public and provides resources on understanding synthetic opioids and how opioid overdoses happen. Additionally, it will provide training on how to administer Naloxone (Narcan) during an opioid overdose emergency.

This is part of the Attorney General’s “One Pill Can Kill” public awareness initiative launched last November.

The initiative aims to generate open, honest conversations amongst families about the extreme threat that counterfeit drugs and opioids pose.

Miyares will be joined by Frederick County Sheriff Lenny Millholland and DEA Agent Ibrar Mian. Other community and faith leaders will also be in attendance.

The event takes place at Fellowship Bible Church in Winchester, Virginia on Feb. 20 from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
