Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.
We're asking for families to watch our four-minute Counterfeit Pills — You Need to Know video with the teens in your life and then have a five-minute conversation with them about the dangers of fentanyl and fake pills.
WHAT IS NATIONAL FENTANYL AWARENESS DAY?
Now in its third year, National Fentanyl Awareness Day brings together individuals, parents, teachers, corporations, influencers, community groups, and government entities to help put an end to this emergency.
Last year, over 70,000 Americans fatally overdosed on illegally made fentanyl. Fentanyl is now found in fake pills and many street drugs, but users are often unaware that their drugs contain the potent opioid. This is an urgent public health crisis that puts all of us, and our loved ones, at risk. We all must play a role in preventing further tragedies.
