Go Back

SESSION INFO

Sunday, June 30, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Fentanyl is now the #1 cause of death in America 18-45 years of age. The fastest-growing age demographic in America for fentanyl poisoning and death is now 14 years of age and younger. It's no longer a drug that is killing addicts, it's a weapon of mass destruction destroying a generation. Awareness is not enough; we must provide comprehensive education. This workshop will teach attendees exactly how to do that using the only standardized Fentanyl curriculum in the country.
