Be Prepared – Save a Life! 

Citizen Opioid Responders (COR) is a brief, online training program about opioid overdose reversal that is being offered by Indiana University. It provides science-based overdose response education to support community naloxone/Narcan distribution efforts. COR has been available in Dearborn County since 2022 and has recently been expanded to all nine IU campuses and adjacent communities. The expansion of the IU COR program was made possible through the ongoing support of the Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council and IU Foundation donors in 2025-2026. Over the next year IU will be able to also expand access to naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, on all IU campuses. Learn more about IU COR program at https://go.iu.edu/stopoverdose.
