The Problem

Over the past decade addiction to prescription pain medication and opioid overdoses has drastically increased. Fentanyl ODs first started to rise in 2014, especially surging in the first couple years of the Covid-19 pandemic, and just keep skyrocketing.

The Solution

In many situations, you know how to help a friend in need. If someone gets a cut, you know to give them a band-aid. But lots of people have friends who are misusing or abusing pain meds and have no idea how to help. You can change that by simply sharing information with your friends using the power of social media! Share a hotline number or other info with them about where they can reach out for help if they think someone in their life is abusing or misusing pain meds.
