New 20-Minute Student Educational Film: “Real Talk About Fake Pills”
Real Talk About Fake Pills is a 20-minute educational film for teens, designed to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and fake pills. The film provides SFC’s fact-based education and reinforces a clear harm prevention message: “No Random Pills.” Recently piloted by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the film is designed for students ages 12 and up and can be shown in health classes, school assemblies, and peer-led presentations. Also included with film are expert discussion guides for peers and educators developed by professionals to support conversations and presentations.
Learning Objectives:
The realities of fentanyl and fake pills in the drug supply
Practical advice to stay safe, including the "No Random Pills" mantra
How to identify signs of an opioid overdose and respond with naloxone
