THY HHCA Create Awareness About the Dangers of Fentanyl

Hilton Head Christian Academy (HHCA) Teens for Healthy Youth (THY) created awareness about the dangers of fentanyl on May 7th, 2024, National Fentanyl Awareness Day by creating friendship bracelets that said #justknowTHYpositivechoices. These bracelets were created using purple beads to symbolize fentanyl awareness. Bracelets were distributed to middle and high school students along with “One Pill can Kill Fact Card”. THY also created an informational video for their peers to learn more about the dangers of fentanyl. To watch the video, click below. THY HHCA hopes their peer-to-peer education project will create awareness of the deadly risk of fentanyl and discourage teen use. THY is an initiative of the Low Country Alliance for Healthy Youth (LCAHY). To read about LCAHY’s E-News on the dangers of fentanyl click here. Reducing medicine misuse is an activity in LCAHY’s Strategic 12-Month Action Plan under the Seven Strategies of Change, Providing Information.
