NAMI Prince George's County Offers Free Narcan Training in Capitol Heights March 25

Anyone in Prince George's County who wants to learn how to reverse an opioid overdose has a free opportunity this Wednesday: NAMI Prince George's County is hosting an in-person Naloxone/Narcan training at 9187 Central Avenue in Capitol Heights from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on March 25, 2026, and every attendee will leave with a free Naloxone/Narcan kit.

The 90-minute session is open to community members and carries no cost to attend. Naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan, is a fast-acting medication that can reverse an opioid overdose within minutes when administered nasally or by injection. Having the drug on hand and knowing how to use it correctly has become a frontline tool in preventing overdose deaths across Maryland.

NAMI Prince George's County, the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, organized the Capitol Heights event. The organization has a track record of connecting county residents to mental health and crisis resources, and this training extends that work into harm reduction territory where a single intervention can mean the difference between life and death.

The training takes place at 9187 Central Avenue, Capitol Heights, MD 20743. Prospective attendees are encouraged to register in advance. Anyone planning to attend should contact NAMI Prince George's County directly to confirm registration details, any capacity limits, and accessibility information for the venue before Wednesday evening.
