Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.

Fentanyl is powerful, often hidden, and impacting communities everywhere. Even a tiny amount can be deadly, and it’s often mixed into other drugs without people knowing.

Most overdose deaths today involve fentanyl, but awareness can save lives. Learning the facts, carrying naloxone, and checking in with others makes a difference.
