Reunión de Concienciación sobre los opioides: Los Peligros del Fentanilo en Nuestra Comunidad

Estos impactos se han vuelto aún más graves debido a la creciente prevalencia del fentanilo en las drogas y otras sustancias. El fentanilo es un opioide increíblemente potente y peligroso. Pequeñas cantidades de fentanilo pueden provocar fácilmente sobredosis potencialmente mortales. En 2021, el fentanilo se identificó en el 77,14% de las muertes por sobredosis de adolescentes en Estados Unidos.
No hay nada más importante para nosotros que la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes, familias y comunidades.
