How to start the conversation about fentanyl

It’s smart to start with a question like, “What have you heard about fentanyl?” This will help you understand what they know already and also give you an opportunity to correct any misinformation. Then, you have an opening to share what you know: “I’ve been reading up on fentanyl, and think it’s an important issue to talk about together.”

Acknowledge that there is a lot to learn, and you want to share your knowledge and continue to learn together. Things change quickly, and together, you can share the most up-to-date information.
