Narcan is a brand name for naloxone, a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist—meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of other opioids. It can very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription opioid pain medications. Most forms of Narcan are misted intranasal (via the nose), however, some intramuscular (via large muscle with a needle) is still used. The Rockford Fire Department will be providing information, training and Narcan; please call 815-395-0559 to RSVP.

At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and coffee and discuss death. Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. Our Death Cafes are always offered: - On a not for profit basis - In an accessible, respectful and confidential space - With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action - Alongside refreshing drinks – and cake! RSVP to 815-395-0559 to reserve your spot.
