Fentanyl PSA

From Aimee Snyder

The below message is also being sent to middle and high school administrators along with middle and high school counselors.

Students in Bend High’s Design Justice class developed an Overdose Prevention PSA video that can be shared with students at your schools.

We plan to share the video through Health classes in the remaining weeks this year. An email will go out to your middle and high school health teachers Monday morning asking them to share the video with their Health classes before the end of the year and to complete a questionnaire after they show the video. These are the instructions that will go out to Health teachers.

As a district, we will consider sharing this PSA to students and similar information to families more broadly next year following fielding testing of the PSA in the Health classes in our remaining weeks this year.

For your information: The instructions include the PSA script, additional resources to direct students to, and content for a future family newsletter. Please use the PSA script to answer any questions that may come up related to overdose risk.

If you have questions or concerns, contact your school’s Public Health Specialist, Tami Pike, or Aimee Snyder:

Tami Pike: Bend-La Pine Schools Assistant Director of Health Services

Lindsay Seibel: Public Health Specialist for Bend High, Pilot Butte Middle, Bend Tech Academy

Amanda Armstrong: Public Health Specialist for La Pine High and Middle

Lani McQuilkin: Public Health Specialist for Mountain View High, Realms, Sky View Middle

Emily Wommack: Public Health Specialist for Summit High, Cascade Middle, and Pacific Crest Middle

Aimee Snyder: Healthy Schools Supervisor filling in for Public Health Specialist for Caldera High, High Desert Middle

The video was made in partnership with Deschutes County Prevention and Health Promotion. The content in the video aligns with best practices for preventing adolescent substance use.
