Hello, my name is Alec Brooks. Currently, I am a PsyD student at Northwest University. I am also a disabled veteran (USMC) and a father of two children. As a father and veteran, I have long been worried about the rise of this inauspicious drug. I have known many veterans who have experienced drug use and even a few who had died due to fentanyl overdose. These experiences have brought to the forefront a realization that the public needs to be informed as soon as they are old enough to learn. It is my firm belief that this knowledge could potentially save the lives of many or keep them from serious harm.
