Community Harm Reduction & Narcan Training

Saving Lives Through Education. Building Stronger Communities Through Prevention.

 

 

a community-centered initiative dedicated to empowering individuals, families, and neighborhoods with the knowledge and confidence to respond to opioid overdoses and other substance-related emergencies.

Presented by Jayneé Benavidez, Co-Founder of Sewell Point and Founder of Bet On Me Foundation, this training equips participants with practical, life-saving skills while promoting compassion, prevention, and community wellness.

Whether you are a parent, student, educator, healthcare professional, faith leader, community volunteer, or concerned resident, this training is designed to prepare you to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose, respond safely, administer naloxone (Narcan), and activate emergency medical services.

Our Mission

Our mission is to reduce overdose deaths, increase public awareness, and strengthen communities through education, prevention, and collaborative partnerships. We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to receive life-saving assistance and that informed communities are safer, healthier, and more resilient.

What You Will Learn

During this interactive training, participants will:

  • Understand the principles of harm reduction and why they matter.
  • Learn about opioids, including the dangers of illicitly manufactured fentanyl.
  • Recognize the warning signs of an opioid overdose.
  • Understand the appropriate steps to take during an overdose emergency.
  • Learn how to properly administer naloxone (Narcan).
  • Practice overdose response skills through instructor-led demonstrations.
  • Learn about community resources, prevention strategies, and pathways to recovery.
  • Gain confidence in responding calmly and effectively during an emergency.

Who Should Attend

PROJECT LIFELINE is open to:

  • Youth (ages 10 and older)
  • Parents and caregivers
  • Community members
  • Schools and educators
  • Faith-based organizations
  • Neighborhood groups
  • Local businesses
  • Healthcare professionals
  • First responders
  • Community organizations

No previous medical experience is required.

Why Harm Reduction Matters

Harm reduction is a public health approach focused on reducing the risk of injury, illness, and death. Like wearing a seatbelt, learning CPR, or using a fire extinguisher, carrying naloxone is another way communities can be prepared to respond during an emergency.

Our training encourages compassion, informed decision-making, and community responsibility while helping participants understand the importance of calling 911 and connecting individuals with appropriate medical care and support services.

Community Partnerships

 

Community Harm Reduction & Narcan Training is a collaborative community initiative focused on saving lives through education, overdose prevention, and harm reduction.

This initiative is supported by Chief Eric Armstrong of the Dixmoor Police Department and Mayor Fitzgerald of the Village of Dixmoor, who recognize the importance of strengthening public safety through education, prevention, and community engagement. Their support reflects a shared commitment to equipping residents, families, and youth with life-saving knowledge and resources while fostering stronger partnerships between law enforcement, community organizations, and the residents they serve.

Together, we are working to build a safer, healthier, and more connected Dixmoor—one life, one family, and one neighborhood at a time.
