National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day

Friday, August 21 is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. 

Fentanyl is involved in more deaths of Americans under 50 than any other cause, including heart disease, cancer, homicide, and suicide. Talk to your children about their mental health and the risks of encountering illicitly manufactured fentanyl. In addition, visit the DEA Museum during its extended hours of operation, 6 a.m. — 6 p.m., on August 21.

Visit DEA's Fentanyl Awareness hub to hear a message from the Attorney General and DEA Administrator, access the Fentanyl Fact Sheet, parental resources, and treatment resources, as well as to read about DEA's Faces of Fentanyl exhibit, download graphics and visuals, view speakers addressing the epidemic via free virtual webinars, browse a list of partners, and review the risk of potential scenarios in which fentanyl may be encountered.
