Overdose – What Teens and Adults Should Know to Save a Life

Drug overdoses have become the third leading cause of death among children and adolescents in the US. Fentanyl, a very potent opioid drug, is often hidden in counterfeit (fake) pills and substances that typically contain no opioids. Young people have overdosed after taking drugs they did not know were laced with fentanyl. This webinar for youth ages 12-18 and their adult caregivers will introduce strategies for keeping teens safe when they encounter drugs. We will learn what opioid drugs are, the signs of an opioid overdose, and how to prevent it. We will also learn how to respond if a friend or family member overdoses, including how to administer naloxone and where to get it.
