Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. This is a day to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is increasingly being used in illegal drugs. Fentanyl is up to 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine, and even a small amount can be deadly.
The day is observed on May 9th each year, and it is an opportunity to educate the public about the dangers of fentanyl, to share stories of those who have been affected by fentanyl, and to raise awareness about resources that are available to help people who are struggling with addiction.
Fentanyl is a serious public health threat, and it is important to do everything we can to raise awareness about the dangers of this drug. National Fentanyl Awareness Day is a great opportunity to do just that.
Some things you can do to help raise awareness about fentanyl on National Fentanyl Awareness Day:
- Talk to your friends, family, and community members about the dangers of fentanyl.
- Share information about fentanyl on social media.
- Wear a fentanyl awareness ribbon.
- Donate to organizations that are working to combat the opioid crisis.
- Contact your elected officials and urge them to support policies that will help to reduce the availability of fentanyl.
- Take a CPR class that includes Narcan training (hint, we do)
Together, we can make a difference in the fight against fentanyl.
