1st National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day - Sunday, August 21, 2022

 


Tomorrow, Sunday, August 21, 2022 marks the First National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day created to remember the lives lost from illicit fentanyl poisoning and acknowledge the devastation caused to loved ones and communities all over the nation. Over 150 people die each day from an overdose related to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.

Affected families and organizations will share lived experiences and educate as many people as possible about fentanyl poisoning.

If you have a loved one who passed from fentanyl poisoning and would like their life commemorated in the DEA’s exhibit, The Faces of Fentanyl, please submit their photo and name to fentanylawareness@dea.gov or post to social media using the hashtag #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay
