Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, an annual commemoration to raise awareness of overdose prevention and reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths. Yolo County has seen the number of deaths due to unintentional overdose risk increase throughout 2022, largely due to the presence of fentanyl, which can be lethal in very small doses and is undetectable to users.

As part of the effort to end the overdose epidemic, CommuniCare Health Centers and the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) are partnering to present a fentanyl awareness video campaign to encourage Yolo County residents to carry Narcan and act quickly when they suspect an overdose.

We are encouraging the community to help share the awareness videos linked below and use the tag line: Carry the Narcan, Save a Life. Yolo County CAN end opioid overdoses. The videos are in English and Spanish.
