Today—April 29—is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.This isn’t just a date. This is something that is actively impacting families, first responders, and entire communities—right here in rural Missouri.
Fentanyl is not just another drug. It is a synthetic opioid up to 50x stronger than heroin and 100x stronger than morphine, and it continues to drive a large portion of overdose deaths across the country.
Here’s what people need to understand:
• Just 2 milligrams—an amount small enough to fit on the tip of a pencil—can be lethal
• Fentanyl is often mixed into other substances (including pills, cocaine, and meth) without the person even knowing
• Many individuals who overdose had no idea they were exposed to fentanyl
• This is impacting teens, adults, first responders, and families at an alarming rate
This is not about judgment. This is about awareness, education, and prevention.
At Code 1 Wellness, we are committed to getting real, life-saving information into the hands of the people who need it most.
If your organization, workplace, school, or community group would like:
• Fentanyl education materials
• Harm reduction and prevention resources
• Wellness bags with critical information and tools
• Or an in-person education session
No cost. No barriers. Just real support.
We proudly serve first responders, veterans, and rural communities, and we are here to make sure no one is left without access to education or help.
If you’re interested, message us directly or call 816-372-2948.
This is how we respond—through awareness, education, and showing up for our communities.
