San Francisco is taking a proactive step in combating the fentanyl crisis with the upcoming release of a training video aimed at nightlife workers and patrons. During a recent government meeting, senior analyst Dylan Rice, along with president Lyman and commissioner Thomas, announced the production of this video as part of the city's harm reduction advocacy efforts.

Fentanyl has become a leading cause of drug overdose deaths in San Francisco and across the United States. The video, produced in collaboration with the Department of Public Health and SFgovTV, will educate viewers on the use of Narcan nasal spray, a life-saving medication that can reverse fentanyl overdoses. Additionally, it will provide guidance on how to use fentanyl test strips to detect the presence of the drug in other street substances.

The training video is set to be released in the coming weeks and will be showcased at an upcoming summit on June 5. This initiative is seen as a crucial first step towards creating a nightlife environment that is better equipped to prevent overdoses and save lives. Commissioner Thomas was recognized for her advocacy in this project, highlighting the collaborative effort behind the initiative.

As San Francisco continues to address the challenges posed by fentanyl, this video represents a significant move towards enhancing safety and awareness in the community. The city is committed to ensuring that nightlife venues are not only enjoyable but also safe for all patrons.
