Learn To Cope (LTC) presents to parents and professionals about the signs and symptoms of opioid use, overdose prevention for families, how to cope with a loved one's addiction and how to motivate recovery. LTC's Addiction and Recovery Support facilitates meetings that offer supportive conversation along with an array of bi-monthly speakers who provide education and hope in regards to substance use, recovery and available services, and includes a peer-led family support network which can help train family members of those suffering with substance abuse disorders and overdose prevention. With additional support from the Massachusetts Dept. of Public Health, LTC provides certification in the administration and use of Narcan (intranasal naloxone) which can reverse an overdose caused by opioids.
Meetings are held throughout the state in 25 locations and overdose prevention education and nasal naloxone are offered free of charge weekly at all of our meetings. Please visit our website for locations and times of our meetings at www.Learn2Cope.org.
The LTC team works closely with schools, law enforcement, the legislature and the medical field to educate the public on opioid addiction. Contact your local chapter for a schedule of events, meeting times and for more information.
