Through candid interviews and first-hand accounts\, the film sheds light on the complexities of the opioid crisis gripping our youth.   \n“Families will leave the event with concrete steps for both prevention and support around this issue\,” said Dr. Heather Thomsen\, a school-based health manager at Santa Cruz County Office of Education\,. “We will be providing parents and caregivers ‘Let’s Talk’ booklets and tip sheets identifying the signs of an overdose. School nurses will be passing out free Narcan\, a lifesaving medication\, at the end of the event.”  \nAdmission is free and attendance by teens is encouraged. Immediately following the screening\, a discussion panel featuring local professionals and high school peers will take place\, inviting audience participation to deepen understanding and engagement with the film’s themes and implications.  \n“We are honored to co-host the screening of ‘Fentanyl High’ as part of our ongoing commitment to adolescent health and well-being\,” said Nadia Al-Lami\, PNP\, the Adolescent Health Director at SCCH. “We are dedicated to building capacity across the tri-county area for youth access to treatment for opioid use disorder. Through collaborative efforts and evidence-based interventions\, we are striving to be part of the solution to the opioid crisis affecting our youth.”  \nSCCH has been working to create an adolescent-friendly clinic environment\, ensuring teens receive the support and resources they need. Recent initiatives include training the clinical team to provide sensitive services\, conducting psychosocial and mental health screenings\, and connecting patients to appropriate resources.  \nFor more information about the screening event or SCCH’s adolescent health initiatives\, please contact SCCHCommunications@schealthcenters.org.
