National Fentanyl Awareness Day is presenting a series of virtual webinars with issue-area experts on an array of topics related to the illicit fentanyl crisis on Tuesday, May 9, 2023.

Register to attend a Panel Discussion on the Fentanyl Crisis on May 16. We will cover the basic facts about fentanyl use, how to respond to an opioid overdose, and how to support someone after overdosing. We’ll also answer questions on the “laced and lethal” drugs infiltrating fentanyl. This will be a Q&A-style conversation led by WRAL’s Julian Grace with clinicians from SouthLight’s Opioid Treatment Program and the Raleigh Police Department’s ACORNS unit. In addition, the NC Harm Reduction Coalition will be on hand to provide Naloxone and test strips, and harm reduction information.
