One Pill, Forever changed: Lessons from Noah’s Story
This powerful presentation was inspired by Noah’s Story, the story of a bright, compassionate 15-year-old whose life was tragically cut short by a single, deadly pill. His loss, shared through the Forever 15 Project, serves as a heartbreaking reminder that behind every statistic is a real person, a family, a classroom, and a community forever changed.
Through this training, we honor Noah’s memory by empowering students, parents, and school staff with the knowledge and awareness needed to navigate today’s evolving drug landscape. Participants will gain a clear understanding of current substance trends including fentanyl, counterfeit pills, vapes, xylazine, and carfentanil and learn how to recognize early warning signs before it’s too late.
Each presentation will be led by Janel Rodriguez and Mark Andrews, with Brandon Dunn also presenting at select events. Together, the presenters deliver an engaging, real-world perspective that blends personal stories, current data, and practical prevention strategies aimed at saving lives.
