Fentanyl Message from County Superintendent Carroll
In the wake of the recent tragedies in the Santa Rosa community, I wanted to take a few moments to reiterate the continued importance of educating our youth about the lethality of Fentanyl, and how easy it can be to not know when it is laced into another drug. Education and awareness can save lives. We ask for your partnership in keeping our youth safe.
Both local and state partners have collected and compiled informational resources geared towards families, educators, and school districts. Please utilize these and share them widely:
-
OD Free Marin Resources for teens, parents, clinicians, and educators
-
Center for Disease Control fentanyl resource guide
-
California Department of Public Health prevention resources for youth
Additionally, the Marin County Office of Education, in collaboration with OD Free Marin, have created the Naloxone Toolkit; a guide to support safety plans and the use of Naloxone, when needed, at school sites.
Families can support by engaging in regular conversations with their students around substance use. Marin Healthy Youth Partnerships has put together “Let’s Talk” resources for both high school and middle school students. These resources and the accompanying Let's Talk Community Discussion Series are designed to help families engage in these healthy conversations with youth.
Together, we can empower individuals and families to make informed choices, access support, and ultimately save lives.
