ECDOL has added important information about Fentanyl to their website.  It includes an understanding of Fentanyl, the threat it poses and how to have conversations with adult children and grandchildren.

Stories of fentanyl have populated news outlets nationwide for years, but many individuals still are unclear about precisely what it is and why it is so dangerous. At ECDOL, they aim to inform aging adults about issues that may affect them or their loved ones. To help, they created a guide that explains in detail what fentanyl is, why it is so dangerous, and how individuals can talk to their loved ones about it.
