The trainings are targeted for employees and/or community members of all ages. NARCAN, also known as Naloxone, is the lifesaving nasal medication for an opioid overdose.

OSWEGO â Six not-for-profit organizations were awarded grants totaling $335,000 from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation in the first of three 2021 grant rounds at its April board meeting. Projects reach a wide range of people and organizations that focus on health and human services, education, community revitalization, and arts and culture.
Farnham Family Services was awarded $130,000, enabling the organization to take over the Harbor Lights facility in northern Oswego County, so that it can sustain and expand Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment services to the most rural and underserved parts of the county.
Another health and human services grant was given to the Salvation Army of Oswego County, for bridge funding to keep its award-winning Pathway of Hope program going until its New York state regional economic funding is received.
