Summit County Public Health, in partnership with Summit County Overdose Prevention and Education and Song for Charlie, will host a Fentanyl Awareness Day event on Tuesday, April 28, at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge, starting at 5:30 p.m. The event is free to attend and includes a film screening, panel discussion, harm reduction resources and free appetizers, according to a news release. It will also be a drug take-back event. It is also bilingual, with resources and conversations in English and Spanish.

“Harm reduction starts with honest and accessible conversations,” said Jake Miller, nurse manager for Summit County Public Health. “Events like Fentanyl Awareness Day create a space where those conversations can happen in a meaningful way, providing accurate information, reducing stigma, and connecting individuals and families to life saving resources.”

“When communities come together to earn and support one another, we strengthen our collective ability to prevent overdose and save lives,” he said.

The event will include a free screening of the short film “La Estrella” in Spanish with English subtitles. The film tells the story of a Mexican-American family confronted with the devastating impact of fentanyl. Created in partnership with bereaved families, “La Estrella” is both a tender portrait of family and a cultural wake-up call about the fentanyl crisis, according to the news release.

There will also be a panel discussion featuring Gina Malagold, executive producer of “La Estrella” and director of multicultural affairs at Song for Charlie.
