A matched savings account can help you save towards a financial goal.

It is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine, making it a major contributor to the 150+ synthetic overdose deaths occurring every day. SITUATION Can I start an IDA today? In order to participate you will need to take Financial Foundations and have at least one financial coaching session with one of our Asset Building Specialists. Financial Foundations will be provided by DevNW to Tribal Members this Fall, and sessions with our Asset Building Specialists can be completed in person or online. Contact Caitlin Zimbrick for more information caitlin.zimbrick@grandronde.org 21 503-879-1990 In recent months, brightly colored fentanyl tablets, powder, and blocks that look like candy or sidewalk chalk have been trending nationally amongst our youth (see images below). These products, known as rainbow fentanyl, are targeted to increase addiction in young people and are often packaged in commercial product packaging (such as holiday candy). Due to their potency, very small amounts can cause damage to the brain, and lead to overdoses or overdose death. ACTION Naloxone saves lives by reversing opioid overdose. It is quick and easy to administer, with trainings available across the country. Communities, parents, and teachers working with youth should consider educating on the dangers of rainbow fentanyl and seek naloxone training to prevent overdose deaths.
