How Educators Feel After Our Fentanyl Education

“Beth’s presentations to parents and students were informative and engaging.  Our parents received reliable information and our students appreciated the direct and honest recommendations about staying safe from the dangers of fentanyl.  We hope everyone can have the information that BirdieLight shared with our community.”
Kim ValentineLaguna Blanca School
"A teacher and parent said that message was hard to hear but necessary. She has two high school kids in our school and one that will be off to college after this year. Another parent wondered why we were not sharing this information with the entire student body... It is my hope that the parents come forward with a "demand" to hear Dr. Weinstock speak again."
Aric ThomasPrincipal of Worthington Kilbourne High School
"I had numerous people come up to me after the presentation to say how great it was.  More importantly, I’ve heard several people say they want to act on what they learned today. "
Alexa ReyndersPresident of the Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists at University of Kansas
"We just wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for presenting to our students. It ignited deep conversation about the dangers of fentanyl in our classrooms. Right after we ended, I went into a classroom to check in and the students were talking about how you could help if there was a fentanyl overdose at a party. We talked about normalizing carrying Narcan and a student even shared how a friend had recently been saved by Narcan. We understand that our youth may not always stay clear of substance use but letting them know there are ways to help is what we hope to accomplish. Your work is valuable beyond words! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!"

The information on this website is not intended as medical advice; Dr. Weinstock is a physician but not YOUR physician. While we advocate for the life-saving potential of tools such as fentanyl test strips and naloxone, BirdieLight is not the manufacturer of these tools, and no tool is 100% accurate all the time. BirdieLight makes no representations that these tools are 100% accurate; any reliance you place on them is strictly at your own risk. Please keep in mind that while fentanyl test strips are a powerful detection tool for the potentially-lethal presence of fentanyl in illegal pills and powder, the strips have been determined to be 92-96% sensitive in detecting fentanyl. Remember, never use any substance when you are alone (tell a friend you are taking something!) and that friend should always know where the naloxone (Narcan) is.
