<br>
As we approach Fentanyl Awareness Day on April 29, we are reminded of the critical importance of the work each of you do, day in and day out, to save lives, prevent substance use, and support the health and well-being of our communities.<br>
<br>
Fentanyl Awareness Day is a national observance created to increase understanding of the dangers of illicit fentanyl and to promote prevention and education efforts across the country. While each of us approach this work in unique ways - through education,
treatment, harm reduction, policy, outreach, public safety, and more - we are united by a shared commitment of preventing overdose and creating a safer San Diego County.<br>
<br>
In recognition of this important day, we\u2019ve gathered a few resources and tools that you can use to support awareness activities within your organizations and communities. These include social media messages, fact sheets, and educational toolkits. We invite
you to share these resources widely and use them to support your ongoing prevention efforts.<br>
<br>
Attached Resources:<br>
<br>
* Fentanyl Toolkit<br>
* SUOPT Website Flyer (English and Spanish)<br>
* Fentanyl and Naloxone Fact Sheet (English and Spanish)<br>
* What Parents Need to Know about Fentanyl Fact Sheet<br>
* Substance Use Disorder and Stigma Fact Sheet<br>
