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
