Naloxone

All B.C. universities and colleges are required to install naloxone kits on campus. Naloxone can reverse the effects of an overdose from opioids. The kits, located in designated cabinets, come with instructions and are mounted in the vicinity of emergency phone locations to support the ability to call 9-1-1 and Campus Public Safety.

If you suspect an overdose, there's no time to waste.

  1. Call 9-1-1
  2. Follow the SAVE ME steps and give Naloxone
  3. Call Campus Public Safety for urgent assistance 778-782-4500

Signs of an overdose

  • Not moving and can't be woken
  • Slow, shallow breathing
  • Blue lips and nails
  • Person may be choking or gurgling
  • Cold, clammy skin
  • Pupils are tiny

Campus Public Safety team members are first-aid trained, carry naloxone kits, and are trained on administering this potentially life-saving medication.

In addition, Campus Public Safety, in partnership with Fraser Health, has provided naloxone and harm reduction training to over 100 SFU community members.
