Annette Cannon, VP of COMBO, musician, and JeffCo Coroner is doing her part to help prevent overdoses and overdose deaths in Jefferson County. She participated in two videos to address the issue with our teens! Please view and share these videos with everyone you know and talk to your teens. This has great information for adults, too. May 10, 2022, was National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Let’s stop this USA National Epidemic that can be prevented by taking care. http://www.jeffcoteens.org/odprevention and http://www.twelvetalks.com/overdose
[Statistics for Colorado show nearly 900 deaths from Fentanyl last year. Please stay vigilant and don’t be stupid.]
