Every day, Arizona youth are buying counterfeit pills laced with Fentanyl through social media and they’re overdosing at an alarming rate.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Here’s what you can do to stop it:

1. Talk with your child about NEVER taking a pill that’s not prescribed to them.

2. Monitor your child’s texts and social media.

3. Get the FACTS on Fentanyl at TalkNowAz.com

4. Get free Narcan (naloxone)—a medication that reverses opioid overdoses—and learn how to use it from Coconino County Health & Human Services. Call 928-679-7279 or email jkordosky@coconino.az.gov

5. Visit https://bit.ly/3muyxXT  for more information.

Even if you don’t think your child is taking pills, talking with them could be the reason they never do.
