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.
Hear from Christa Shifflett, executive director of the Warren Coalition, about the latest updates on the fentanyl crisis, best practices for prevention education, and walkthrough implementing VFHY's Dangers of Fentanyl Lesson.
