SAMHSA has a challenge for America’s youth: Help us raise awareness about fentanyl and reduce teen overdose deaths. FentAlert: Empowering Youth for Safer Choices—SAMHSA Fentanyl Awareness Youth Challenge is an opportunity for youth (ages 14–18) to develop a community strategy to educate their peers about fentanyl and fake pills, and to prevent drug overdose deaths. The top six ideas will be awarded a $5,000 prize each, and up to 25 youth will receive a $2,000 honorable mention prize. Youth can participate individually or as part of a team. Please review the rules and judging criteria. Submissions are due by 6 p.m. ET on February 26, 2024. Please share this opportunity to support young people’s voices for a future where they and their peers can thrive.
