Fentanyl - what EVERY family should know and why we should care

"Fentanyl is involved in more deaths of Americans under 50 than any cause of death, including heart disease, cancer, homicide, suicide and other accidents."

- dea.gov/fentanylawareness

The Fentanyl epidemic is closer to each one of us than we realize.

Lincoln’s Health Action Network (HAN) wants every Cardinal family to be clear on why knowing more matters and what actions they can take to keep our kids safe.

Learn about current trends in substance abuse among teens overall, PPS and Lincoln specifically, what makes Fentanyl so deadly, and how families can prevent overdoses by knowing, talking about, and being prepared for its dangers.
