Riverside County refuses to sit back while fentanyl kills our young people. We were the first county in the state to prosecute drug dealers for these poisoning deaths, and now we're the first to put a fentanyl awareness curriculum directly in front of our students.
New school year, new life-saving lesson
The Faces of Fentanyl curriculum is now in classrooms across Riverside County, arming students with local facts about the fentanyl crisis before it can touch their lives.
Since the Faces of Fentanyl campaign launched in 2022, fentanyl deaths in the county have dropped 54% - and this new curriculum, developed with Riverside County public health and law enforcement experts, builds on that progress a year and a half ahead of a new state mandate.
As Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day approaches on August 21, parents who wish to get a head start on the life-saving Faces of Fentanyl lessons now may download all materials from the RCOE website. Curriculum is available and free to all districts, families, and community groups.
