Session Descriptions

  • Peer-to-Peer Fentanyl Education Program: We are excited to announce that this fall Song for Charlie is launching its peer-to-peer fentanyl education program. Many students have expressed to us that they want to make a difference in their communities, and we are pleased to offer free resources to assist them in their efforts. On our newly created landing page students will find slide decks, videos, downloadable flyers and posters, and more. They will also have direct access to our Outreach Coordinator, Laura Didier, who can help them navigate our toolkits and guide them towards the best resources for their needs. Join us to learn more about the peer-to-peer landing page and how you can share it with the youth leaders in your community!

  • La Nueva Drug Talk–Conectar para Empoderar: Song for Charlie aims to emphasize the importance of drug education and awareness of “fentapills” for vulnerable populations and ensure the availability of resources for Hispanic communities while highlighting the disparities. Every year during Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the enormous contributions made by the Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. We must also reflect on the challenges our Hispanic communities face. Primary among them is the emergence of fentanyl and other chemicals in the drug supply. To address this need for culturally resonant information and resources for this important demographic, Song for Charlie has developed La Nueva Drug Talk: Conectar Para Empoderar.

Learning Objectives: At the end of these sessions, participants will be able to…

  • Navigate La Nueva Drug Talk, learn more about the resources found there, and connect with members of La Nueva Drug Talk Advisory Team

  • Learn ways to share these resources with Latinx communities and build coalitions to address the fentanyl crisis disproportionally impacting BIPOC communities.

  • Navigate the peer-to-peer fentanyl education landing page and learn more about the resources found there.

  • Learn ways to share these resources with local youth and support their efforts to educate their peers on the fentanyl crisis.
