FREE WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS: What Parents Need to Know About the Fentanyl Crisis

Illicit Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid analgesic sold illegally on the streets for people to get high and is responsible for most drug related deaths in Orange County. It is often sold as a counterfeit pill to unsuspecting people seeking relief from pain and anxiety. Between 2016 and 2022, Fentanyl related deaths rose 1600% in Orange
County, and are now the leading cause of teenage deaths. Sergeant Brian Gunsolley from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department will inform parents about the fentanyl epidemic and other substances endangering our youth.
