Song for Charlie is a family-led nonprofit dedicated to helping schools and communities protect young people from fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and other dangerous substances. With support from the California Department of Health Care Services, we provide free, evidence-based resources for classrooms, families, and communities.
Real Talk About Fake Pills is a 20-minute educational film and educator package designed for classrooms and assemblies. Featuring real teens and medical experts, it explores the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit pills in today's drug supply and shares practical guidance on navigating these risks including our "No Random Pills" message.
The New Drug Talk equips parents and caregivers with tools and local resources to continue these critical conversations at home. The film features medical experts and families impacted by fentanyl and fake pills, along with practical strategies for discussing substance use and safety. Paired with an expert-developed discussion guide, the program is ideal for virtual or in-person community events.
