Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) and the Beach Cities Partnership for Youth Coalition is partnering with South Bay Families Connected, Hermosa Beach City School District, Manhattan Beach Unified School District and Redondo Beach Unified School District to host in-person events that will include a film screening of “Come Back Home,” the newest fentanyl documentary by Dominic Tierno and Christine Wood that delves into the lives of young people who survived the loss of their loved ones to fentanyl, followed by a panel discussion. This event is intended for parents and caregivers to hear from young people who have lived experience with substance use. Young people from local recovery programs and sober communities will share their stories and what they wish their parents knew. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a candid discussion with the panel to learn more about what they can do to better support the mental health of young people in their life.

Naloxone (the life-saving opioid overdose reversal medication) will be available for participants. BCHD’s supply of naloxone is provided by the California Health Care Services’ Naloxone Distribution Project.
