Our doc & discussion starts at 6:30pm, Wed. Jan. 10th at St. Monica Family Center located near the corner of Walnut Hill & Midway Road in Dallas. This event is free and open to parents and their teens.
A short 18 minute documentary, titled Fentanyl Factor, highlights the alarming increase of accidental overdose deaths due to the mixing or 'lacing' of fentanyl with other substances such as heroin, cocaine, and 'fake' prescription pills. The documentary also features an interview with a Forensic Scientist inside the lab where real and counterfeit drugs are tested.
Following the film is a Q&A discussion with local experts including:
Keith Brown, Executive Director of Texoma HIDTA (high intensity drug trafficking area). Keith is a retired DEA Senior Executive and Drug Recognition Expert with 25 + years of experience.
Becky Tinney, Licensed master level social worker in mental health and substance abuse, a certified prevention specialist, and Director of Community Engagement at Recovery Resource Center, a behavioral health nonprofit which has been serving North Texas since 1946. Film and discussion are appropriate for both parents and teens.
