This free course, originally designed for law enforcement, is now available to church staff, volunteers, and ministry leaders who serve the homeless and those struggling with substance abuse.This course is for informational purposes only—you will NOT be trained to handle fentanyl. Instead, you’ll gain essential knowledge about:✅ What fentanyl is and why it’s so dangerous ✅ How exposure can happen—and how to protect yourself ✅ Why fentanyl is flooding the streets and affecting the homeless population ✅ How overdoses occur and what signs to look for ✅ How law enforcement protects themselves when encountering fentanyl (so you understand why it should never be touched) ✅ Best practices for staying safe in outreach settings<h4 id="2c68ccc4-40d1-487b-8f82-08b5074bee49" data-toc-id="2c68ccc4-40d1-487b-8f82-08b5074bee49">Why This Training Matters for Churches</h4>Many churches engage in outreach ministries to the homeless, provide food and shelter, or offer addiction recovery programs. With fentanyl contamination becoming more common, your safety matters. This course empowers you to:🛑 Recognize fentanyl contamination risks in shelters, church facilities, and public spaces 🚨 Respond appropriately if you suspect fentanyl exposure in your outreach work 🤝 Better understand the struggles of addiction to approach ministry with wisdom and safety 🧼 Learn proper decontamination practices—what to do if you suspect exposure 📖 Gain real-world insights from law enforcement experts on fentanyl risks and safety<h4 id="8c12ffa5-8ed9-4be1-b8b3-72e236fd0860" data-toc-id="8c12ffa5-8ed9-4be1-b8b3-72e236fd0860">What Officers Learn vs. What You’ll Learn</h4>While police officers are trained to handle fentanyl in investigations, your focus is different.

My goal is to help equip ministries with the knowledge and awareness to serve those in need while keeping their teams safe.By the end of this course, you’ll be able to serve with confidence, knowing how to recognize the dangers of fentanyl and how to protect yourself and your team while helping others.🚨 Knowledge Saves Lives—Start Learning Today! 🚨

Originally created for law enforcement, this free course helps church staff and volunteers understand fentanyl, its dangers, and exposure risks when working with the homeless. This training is for information only.
