We are excited to welcome our friend and colleague Kathy Collier to the podcast to share with us what is happening in Chester County regarding opioid and fentanyl use–both intentional and accidental use. We discussed what opioids are, how the overdose epidemic is still happening, and how the drug landscape is MUCH different than when we were teens. Kathy also explained how to talk to your kids about opioids, fentanyl, and xylazine, and how it is showing up in other substances that are NOT opioids. This conversation was empowering in providing ways to stay safe and realistic–and the golden rule: no pills and powders and nothing that isn’t yours! Join us!
Things we mentioned in this episode:
Kathy works for the Chester County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services.
We talked about Narcan and how it is available through the county.
