Fentanyl - It's on the news, it's talked about between our friends and families, and it's something that a lot of us are worried about. So, let's talk about it!
At this event Kess will be presenting on fentanyl, and hopefully together we can learn more about it from a fact-based standpoint.
The conversation surrounding Fentanyl is a tough one. We recognize the pain this substance has brought to many, and appreciate the many different perspectives that will be in the room. With this in mind, we ask that attendees are present with this awareness and are not coming with an intention to shame or look down upon people in the crowd who may have had difficult fentanyl experiences, have friends or family who have had difficult experiences, or who may be putting themselves at risk for exposure to fentanyl.
-What is fentanyl? Where does it come from, and why can it be dangerous for some people?
-How does fentanyl work in the body?
-What does a fentanyl overdose look like, and what does Naloxone do to help with overdoses?
-How and why are some other substances becoming adulterated with fentanyl?
-How can I check if my substances have fentanyl in them?
We will address these questions and more!
This meeting is free and open to the public, and is intended for informational and educational purposes.
