brand new YouTube channel, Ask Lisa Podcast. Episode 162, how do I talk to my teen about fentanyl?

Okay, well, this is a topic, Lisa, you have always wanted to talk about. Yeah, I've been thinking about

this for a long time. This is a huge topic in the care of young people. Rina, I attended the

funeral of a young woman I knew who died from a fentanyl poisoning. It is big. It is scary. And I wanted to do this

really carefully and do it right. So we found exactly the right people to have this conversation with.

And, you know, when I think about the episodes we've put out, there's no question in my mind.

This will be one of the most important if,

and certainly, I have no question, probably life-saving episodes. It affects so many people.

And even if you don't know someone, you know, a lot of the episodes we do are to raise awareness in communities of issues your child might not be dealing with, but how other people are dealing

with it. And if God forbid you ever come down that road, you've got resources. And you're right.

The next two guests are incredible.

I can't wait to share the work they've been doing.
