Overview
About the event
Local fentanyl action groups, such as Facing Fentanyl, a non-profit established in honor of those who have lost their lives to illicit fentanyl poisoning, founded and organized National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day.
The purpose of this day is to acknowledge the devastation that fentanyl has brought to families and communities, affecting hundreds of thousands of people each year.
In addition, the day seeks to show support to those families who have lost their loved ones to this drug.
The event is scheduled to take place just ten days prior to International Overdose Awareness Day and highlights the commonalities along with the differences between overdoses and fentanyl poisoning.
