As a parent or caregiver, it is crucial that you educate your family members about the dangers of fentanyl and fake pills. Fentanyl is extremely dangerous and could be hidden where you least expect it. Tips for Parents and Caregivers: - Encourage open and honest communication - Explain what fentanyl is and why it is so dangerous - Stress not to take any pills that were not prescribed to you from a doctor - No pill purchased on social media is safe - Fentanyl has been found in most illegal drugs - Create an “exit plan” to help your child know what to do if they’re pressured to take a pill or use drugs Learn more on the DEA’s website: https://buff.ly/B78ncmB
