[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have actually even given Narcan, CPR or Heimlich you'll know its a somewhat traumatizing experience. I am all for getting Narcan in more hands, but we do need to prepare people for what goes along with it. Your teen may freeze in the moment and that is normal. [/quote]

They don’t get it. They just think you pop it in and go about your life a hero. I doubt many of them would last a day in schools or be able to respond to a non responsive teenager as easily as they claim other teenagers should theoretically be able to. [/quote]

I get it. I am just not sure what is more traumatizing. Giving narcan to someone or watching them die while you can do nothing. I have been in the second spot and it was pretty dang traumatizing and I would give anything to have had an ability to do something (anything). No one is claiming that kids will be able to calmly do this. Or that it will be a perfect wonderful happy moment where they save a life. Just that kids should have access to it and should know how to use it if they wish. [/quote]
