Bring the Movement to Your Campus—on NFAD or Any Day
While fentanyl deaths have recently declined from record highs, nearly half of teens remain unaware of the deadly risks from counterfeit prescription pills. Educators and student leaders play a vital role in protecting young lives through education and peer support. And while NFAD is officially observed on April 29th, we support you in taking action whenever works best for your campus.
For Student Groups
Talk to Your Community. Check with campus leaders about screening the Real Talk About Fake Pills short film on campus followed by a discussion using our guide.
Try Tabling. Grab posters, flyers and postcards for your booth. Use them to share info and start conversations with your classmates.
Choose Another Activity. Plan an event or campaign that works for your community. Visit Song for Charlie's Peer to Peer program for more ideas, including opportunities to become a peer mentor and lead fentanyl awareness efforts on your campus.
Spread the Word
Use our promotional materials and social media prompts to get the word out.
