 The Tahoe Truckee Suicide Prevention Coalition is proud to have joined the Know Overdose Campaign and participate throughout 2023. During the last calendar year, the Know Overdose Nevada County training and education team provided 99 opioid overdose prevention and Narcan trainings to 2,308 Nevada County residents. Because it takes an entire community to prevent overdose deaths, we trained everyone: non-profits, government agencies, schools, social and civic clubs, businesses, bars, individuals, restaurants, service providers and more.
If you or your organization haven’t been trained, reach out to [email protected] to schedule your training.

There is one Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings scheduled to begin on March 15th for Placer and Nevada County residents and workforce. Additional sessions will be scheduled in the near future.
