Nobody thinks that this is going to happen to them. And then John and I spoke about fake pills and what's happening with the introduction of fentanyl in the drug supply. Along with that community conversation, the school district committed to updating the curriculum, and so Shelly put us in touch with the two people in charge of the health curriculum for the school district and they did a search and they could not find any information on fake pills and fentanyl.
Imagine losing a loved one to a pill they thought was safe. In this episode of 'Fatal Facts of Fentanyl', Lisa Carole Cude talks with Jennifer, a mother whose life was shattered when her 18-year-old son Caley took a pill he believed was oxycodone. Tragically, it was pure fentanyl, and he lost his life. Jennifer's story is a sobering reminder that this crisis can touch anyone, anywhere.
Jennifer has turned her grief into action, working tirelessly with Song for Charlie, an organization focused on fentanyl awareness. She shares her journey of educating communities and pushing for fentanyl education in schools across the nation. Jennifer's grassroots efforts aim to prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak. This episode is more than just a tragic tale; it's a call to arms.
You'll hear about the deceptive tactics used by cartels to target youth on social media and the urgent need for widespread education on this issue. Jennifer's determination and resilience offer hope and a path forward in the fight against this deadly epidemic. Tune in to hear Jennifer's powerful story and learn how you can be part of the solution.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who cares about making a difference, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and motivation to take action.
