On June 9, 2023, a Texas National Guard Joint Counterdrug Task Force Drug Demand Reduction Outreach Task Force Member (TFM) spoke about fentanyl and counternarcotic resources at the Dallas Fort Worth Metro Area Counselors Educators meeting in Carrollton, Texas. This was in effort to continue its initiative to continue informing Independent School District staff and counselors on the ongoing fentanyl crisis and to save lives. The DDRO TFM discussed prevention initiatives and curriculum available to the counseling staff and their respective ISDs. The group was also informed on resources available to their students through DDRO’s community partners. The counseling staff in attendance were receptive and were eager to take the information back to their ISDs to in order to educate students on the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit pills. Community outreach opportunities like this are a strategic part of the Texas Counterdrug DDRO’s plan to bring awareness of the synthetic opioid fentanyl and its devastating impact on individuals, families, and the community, and support drug abuse and misuse prevention through strategic community engagements to increase community resiliency and promote a healthier, drug-free lifestyle for Texans across the state.
