Bring Lifesaving Fentanyl Education to Your Kid's School
Your teenager's friend offers them a pill. "It's just Percocet," they say. What your kid doesn't know could kill them: nearly half of American teens are unaware that fake prescription pills are now made with fentanyl—and just one pill can be fatal.
But schools from Los Angeles to Wisconsin are protecting their students with our 20-minute film for teens, Real Talk About Fake Pills. The result: 83% of teens are less likely to experiment with pills after watching. Here's how to bring this film to your school:

Subject: Free Student Safety Program Request
Dear [Principal/Counselor/Teacher/Health Coordinator/Superintendent],
I'm writing to request that our school implement a student safety education program that's being used successfully in districts from Los Angeles, California, to Madison, Wisconsin.
Song for Charlie, the leading fentanyl education nonprofit, has created a free 20-minute film called Real Talk About Fake Pills for middle and high school students that addresses fake prescription pills containing potentially deadly amounts of fentanyl—a threat many students aren't aware of.
The program, developed with medical and mental health professionals and educators, includes standards-aligned classroom materials and the film at no cost to our district. Implementation is simple: show the film and use the provided guides.

Thank you for considering this important safety resource for our students.
