End Overdose launches new e-training tool to facilitate emergency responses at events

End Overdose’s innovative training makes learning overdose response engaging and effective, empowering more people to save lives.

End Overdose, the non-profit on a mission to reduce drug overdoses and save lives, is taking its mission to a whole new level with a brand-new e-training tool. The new e-training has been designed to keep people engaged while learning vital life-saving skills. It turns overdose response training into an experience, making it easier than ever to retain the important information while having some fun.

The new e-training tool is packed with features like gameplay loops, haptic feedback, and interactive simulations that make learning both effective and entertaining. End Overdose’s goal with the new e-training is to boost retention by up to 75%. End Overdose has not announced a release date for the training yet.

Learning how to respond to an overdose through multi-sensory engagement and immediate feedback helps so that when the moment comes, you’re prepared and confident. It uses repetition and narrative storytelling to keep learners focused along with rewards to add a little extra motivation.

End Overdose shared the news with their community in an Instagram post and sparked excitement and praise from followers. Comments poured in like, “I am obsessed with this. It’s so good. Thank you!” and “Love to see this.” Another follower chimed in with, “And we love Narcat.”

Narcat is the organization’s friendly feline mascot which is very prominent in the e-training. The mascot helps educate people about overdose prevention in a more approachable, light-hearted way. Narcat embodies the non-profit’s mission to make these important conversations less daunting and more accessible. Narcat is a reminder that anyone can help save a life.

End Overdose also offers access to its certification on its website to train people on how to administer Narcan, which is a life-saving medication that reverses opioid overdoses. Overall, their goal is to empower more people with the skills to act in an emergency, knowing that each person trained means another potential life saved.
