Some health and community partners are experienced increased numbers of substance use-related adverse events in Greater Victoria. These are presenting as flailing, seizures and tonic-clonic episodes.
Learn how to respond to substance use-related seizures
If someone overdoses:
- Call 911 first, then Campus Security
- Give 1 breath every 5 seconds
- Give Naloxone
If you use drugs, please test them to make sure they’re as safe as possible and don’t use alone. There are many resources and supports on campus to support safer substance use, including the Student Wellness Harm Reduction webpage and the UVSS Safer Use webpage.
