Addiction and Overdose Support

LaSalle College Vancouver (LCV) is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for all students, faculty, and staff. We recognize the challenges posed by addiction and the risks of overdose and are committed to providing resources, training, and immediate assistance to address these issues.

All front desk and most student-facing staff are trained to recognize signs of overdose and administer Naloxone, a life-saving medication for opioid overdoses.
Students and staff are encouraged to attend workshops and sessions on addiction awareness, overdose prevention, and harm reduction strategies.

Naloxone kits are placed in first aid room and front desk on campus. These kits are regularly checked to ensure they are up-to-date and ready for use.

In the event of a suspected overdose:

Call 911 immediately for professional medical assistance.
Call Campus Security at 604-683-2006 Ext:8900
Notify trained staff or retrieve a Naloxone kit from a designated location.
Administer Naloxone as instructed.
Monitor the individual and provide supportive care until emergency services arrive.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, confidential support is available. We can connect you with trusted local organizations, such as:

BC Centre on Substance Use (bccsu.ca)
Overdose Prevention Society (overdoseprevention.ca)
BC Mental Health Crisis Line (310-6789)
