A Simon Fraser University student is among a number of advocates who deliver overdose education in B.C. schools but want such information made a mandatory part of the curriculum.
Original Story posted by Camille Bains, The Canadian Press
It was a life-changing moment for Goodison, who would be inspired to study health sciences and set up a group called NaloxHome that educates high school students about what an overdose looks like and how to use naloxone. “She was saved by paramedics, but I just always reflect on what if someone on that train knew anything about the signs of an overdose or was carrying naloxone? We were already into an overdose emergency, and nobody knew anything about an overdose.”
“My dream would be for this to one day be taken out of my hands and taken on by the Education Ministry,” Goodison said. However, she said there are not enough advocates to do presentations at schools so it’s up to the province to make overdose education part of the curriculum. However, the ministry did not say whether it would consider including overdose prevention in the school curriculum.
