Saving Lives at Work: Overdose Response & Harm Reduction for Hospitality Professionals
Presented by Good Work Austin in partnership with SHIFT and hosted at Hole in the Wall 

This free, hospitality-focused training will equip you with the knowledge and tools to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses, administer naloxone (Narcan), and integrate harm reduction into your workplace culture.

Together, we’ll:

• Understand the current landscape of opioid use and its impact on our communities

• Learn the principles of harm reduction as they relate to opioid use

• Apply practical, real-world strategies to make our spaces safer for staff, guests, and neighbors

Whether you’re behind the bar, on the line, or running the show—this training is for you. Let’s build a hospitality industry that shows up, looks out, and saves lives!
