WMRHSD Fall Edcamp 2024

Join us for a continuation of our faculty book club read, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen by David Brooks.

“More than a guide to better conversations, it’s a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their relationships and broaden their perspectives.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (Summer Reading Pick)

All are welcome! You need not have read the book to join us. An overview of the book along with some excerpts and guiding questions will be provided.

"According to the National Insitute on Drug Abuse, opioid overdose deaths continue to significantly increase each year, with more than 80,000 overdose deaths reported in 2021. Bystanders can act to prevent overdose deaths if they have access to NARCAN (naloxone HCI). Naloxone is an opioid antagonist - meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse an overdose from opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Anyone can carry naloxone, give it to someone experiencing an overdose, and potentially save a life.

NARCAN training will be provided by Hope One, Morris County's mobile outreach vehicle for addiction, recovery, and mental health services. Participants will learn how to identify the symptoms of a potential overdose, how to deliver a dose of NARCAN, and steps to take until emergency responders arrive. All participants who complete the training will receive a NARCAN kit to take with them.

NARCAN training is mandatory for school nurses, athletic trainers, Coordinators of Athletics and Activities, building administrators, and members of the Emergency Response Team. It is highly recommended for coaches, advisors, and any staff members who routinely supervise students when a nurse is not present. All staff are invited to participate.

If after completing the training, any participant who is not comfortable with the idea of administering NARCAN at school or during school functions, may give their kit to the school nurse or take the kit home for personal use.

This course was designed to teach how to recognize and control life-threatening hemorrhaging. The focus of this program is the immediate response to bleeding. It will teach how someone can take appropriate skills to control bleeding until help arrives.They will get the chance to stop the "bleed" by packing "wounds" and applying tourniquets. ( I chose 50min but I may be able to do it in 30 minutes if you only need 30 min presentations.)
