GPS Parent Series to shed light on meth, fentanyl and other opiates

The GPS Parent Series: Navigating Healthy Families, will host journalist and author Sam Quinones in presenting “The Changing Landscape of the Drug Epidemic: Fentanyl Poisoning, Meth and More” at noon and 7 p.m. Jan. 29, via Zoom. Visit gpsparentseries.org for information and links to the webinars.

Quinones says the unrelenting supply of two synthetic drugs, fentanyl and methamphetamine, has created a new reality and changed everything. He will update students and families on a drug crisis he says is killing thousands annually.

Quinones is a former “Los Angeles Times” reporter and author of four books, including “Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic.” His most recent release is “The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth.”
