Addiction and Overdose Support
LCI Language School 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.
Education and Training: 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 on Campus: 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.
Emergency Response Steps: 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.

Health Insurance
All students studying at LCI Language School in Vancouver are responsible for having adequate medical insurance for the entire duration of their enrollment at our schools. We believe all students studying abroad at any of our international locations should have adequate health insurance to cover them in case of a medical emergency.
Having student health insurance gives you and your family back home peace of mind. In an emergency, it gives you 24/7 support in your own language and removes financial stress so that you can focus on getting the care you need.
