Street-based Fentanyl is a threat to lives in cities across the United States. As a medical provider working on the front lines of addiction, I've written this book to provide parents with tools to help protect their children from its terrible effects. This resource gives practical guidance on recognizing warning signs and strategies for having honest conversations with children about substance abuse risks. By empowering parents with the knowledge to identify and address potential fentanyl use, the book will help protect your children's well-being and safeguard them from the dangers of street-based drugs. Prevention is a focus, and parents will learn proactive steps to help their children avoid exposure to street-based fentanyl. For parents whose children are already struggling with addiction and homelessness, the book will teach you how to approach your children with empathy and understanding while asking the right questions to determine the best way to help. By learning about addiction and the language of recovery, parents can effectively communicate with their children and connect them with appropriate resources to overcome addiction and homelessness.
