In this powerful episode, we delve into the critical topics of fentanyl, overdose prevention, harm reduction, recovery and hope.Shining a light on these topics and addressing them openly and honestly is a step towards making a positive difference, unshaming, destigmatizing, and ultimately saving lives.“Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered. Fentanyl is everywhere. From large metropolitan areas to rural America, no community is safe from this poison. We must take every opportunity to spread the word to prevent fentanyl-related overdose death and poisonings for claiming scores of American lives everyday." - DEA.govJoin us as we delve into the depths of this crisis with our special guest, Thomas Guerra, MS, CEO and Founder of f-fent.org, a Miami-based organization dedicated to lessening the risk of substance use through harm reduction and providing recovery support to individuals who ask for assistance.He is also available for public speaking engagements.Thomas may be reached via email at [email protected], or by phone at 786-387-5000.Visit the following links for:Training: https://www.f-fent.org/trainingHarm Reduction: https://www.f-fent.org/harm-reductionFamily Support: https://www.f-fent.org/family-supportRecovery Support: https://www.f-fent.org/recovery-supportOverdose Awareness Day: https://www.f-fent.org/overdoseawarenessSupport F-Fent: https://www.f-fent.org/donateFlorida Resources: https://isavefl.com/Enjoy an eye-opening conversation that explores the F-factor behind fentanyl and unveils strategies for raising awareness and fostering hope in the face of adversity.---Disclaimer: The information shared in this podcast is not medical or legal advice.
