At Fentanyl Fathers, we are dedicated to equipping students with the knowledge to combat the fentanyl crisis. Our school intervention program provides a powerful, real-world approach to educating youth on the dangers of fentanyl and overdose prevention. This program is appropriate for high school and middle school students.

   Students hear directly from parents who have lost children to fentanyl, sharing personal stories that leave a lasting impact.
2. Vetted Curriculum & Slide Deck
   We use a carefully developed curriculum and a Fentanyl Education Slide Deck, offering up-to-date, critical information on fentanyl dangers and prevention.
3. Compelling Video Testimony
   The award-winning documentary DEAD ON ARRIVAL shares real stories of families affected by fentanyl, deeply resonating with students.
4. Awareness and Attitude Change Measurement
   We conduct pre- and post-surveys to assess shifts in awareness and attitudes about fentanyl.
5. Live Assembly Presentation with Naloxone Training
   Our dynamic, in-person assembly covers awareness, prevention, overdose recognition, and naloxone training, empowering students to respond in emergencies.

We also offer ongoing community support, connecting students to mental health resources, substance abuse services, and free naloxone distribution. Book a school assembly event today! Together, we can protect our youth and save lives.

Join us to create a safer future and book a community event today—together, we can save lives.

Fentanyl Fathers is proud to announce our new program, S.A.F.E. (Students Advocating Fentanyl Education), which empowers students to lead the fight against the fentanyl crisis in their schools and communities. Through our assembly presentations, we challenge students to take action by starting a S.A.F.E. chapter at their school, focused on education and awareness around the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit pills.

S.A.F.E. is a student-led initiative that promotes peer-to-peer education on the risks associated with fentanyl, overdose prevention, and lifesaving resources like naloxone. With guidance from Fentanyl Fathers, students can start chapters at their schools, ensuring ongoing dialogue and awareness among their peers. Fentanyl Fathers play an advisory role, providing essential resources and support to help students successfully establish, collaborate, and run their chapters.

• Step 1: Attend an Assembly
  Fentanyl Fathers visits schools across the country, raising awareness about fentanyl dangers through dynamic, informative assemblies. We encourage students to step up and form a S.A.F.E. chapter at their school.
• Step 2: Connect and Collaborate
  Interested students are encouraged to connect with peers from existing S.A.F.E. chapters for guidance and inspiration. Fentanyl Fathers facilitates these connections, ensuring each new chapter has the support it needs.
• Step 3: Chapter Setup
  Fentanyl Fathers offers a comprehensive toolkit to help students meet the requirements for establishing a chapter. This toolkit was put together by an existing S.A.F.E chapter at Beach HS in Florida. Resources include:
  • First meeting agendas
  • Awareness posters
  • Educational presentations
  • Naloxone training and distribution (where state laws permit)
  • How to set up a student organization

Each S.A.F.E. chapter is entirely student-run, with Fentanyl Fathers offering ongoing advice and support. We help students organize events, promote awareness campaigns, and host naloxone trainings in their communities. We’re committed to bridging any gaps that arise as more schools establish S.A.F.E. chapters, ensuring they have the resources needed to succeed.

If you're a student interested in starting a S.A.F.E. chapter at your school or want more information, get in touch with us today, or reach out to S.A.F.E. @fentanylsafe on Instagram, or visit their website. Together, we can make our schools safer and more informed about the fentanyl crisis.
