A fentanyl awareness and prevention forum was recently held for students at Windsor High School, providing important education on the dangers of fentanyl, how to recognize an overdose, and where students can turn for help.
The program was presented in partnership with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office and focused on prevention, early intervention, and lifesaving resources for students and staff.
During the forum, Eddie Briggs shared his personal story and testimony, giving students a real-world perspective on the consequences of substance abuse and the importance of making safe choices.
School Resource Officer Cameron Evans spoke with students about the resources available on campus and encouraged anyone who may be struggling—or who knows someone who is—to reach out for help.
Captain Michael Bilbruck addressed current fentanyl trends in the region, warning signs of overdose, and explained the Missouri Good Samaritan Law. He also shared both professional and personal experiences to emphasize the importance of awareness and taking action early.
Students also received hands-on training from Laura Young, who demonstrated how to properly administer Narcan and explained how quick action can save lives during an overdose emergency.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office expressed its appreciation to school leadership for supporting the event, including Principal Justin Wells, Vice Principal Brad Forrest, and Superintendent Brad Hunter, for allowing the opportunity to speak with students and for their continued commitment to education and prevention efforts.
Officials also extended a special thank you to Vice Principal Forrest for addressing students during the forum and helping reinforce the importance of making informed and healthy decisions.
