Natural High Fentanyl Toolkit

66.5% of 12th graders still don’t think it’s very risky to try a prescription narcotic
(codeine, Vicodin, OxyContin, Percocet).

  • That’s alarming—because just one pill can be deadly.
  • The pills they’re getting aren’t from doctors.
  • Teens don’t grasp the danger.
  • These life-saving conversations can’t be one-and-done. They need to happen now, again, and again.

 

This toolkit is here to help. It gives you everything you
need to educate yourself and your teens.

Step #1

watch & Discuss these videos

Here’s how to make the most of the videos:

These four videos will spark important conversations with kids ages 11+. Watch them over time – whether over days or weeks – to reinforce the message and make it stick. Watch, discuss, revisit because repetition is key to learning.

The Fentanyl Crisis – A Family’s Story (20 min)

Watch this first to understand the emotional toll and the reality of the crisis. A deeply moving story about the devastating impact of fentanyl on families.

The Faces of Fentanyl (2 min)

A powerful reel showing young people who lost their lives to fentanyl. Seeing the faces and hearing their stories makes the risk real.

Stop the spiral (3 min)

A look at how experimenting with pills can lead to addiction. Helping young people understand how quickly things can spiral.

What You Need to Know – a version for teens (6 min)

A shorter version of the first video that reinforces the key takeaways. This is a great follow-up to make sure the message sticks.

Get Naloxone
Step #2

Get naloxone. Be prepared.

Naloxone is a life-saving medication (nasal spray) that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose. It won’t harm anyone who hasn’t overdosed.

Carrying naloxone means you’re prepared to help in an emergency – it doesn’t mean you use drugs.

In many overdose deaths, a bystander was present. If they had carried naloxone and known how to use it, lives could have been saved. You can be prepared.

Naloxone is available over-the-counter, online, and even for free in many locations. Use this map to find it near you.

I absolutely love the Natural High series and use it for my 5th and 6th grades during the month of October. My 6th grade teachers enjoyed it so much, and the kids absolutely love them.  It has been an integral part of drug awareness and trying to make a life-long impact on our students.
