Fentanyl Facts

Fentanyl is the most common drug found in opioid overdose deaths in Arizona. Teens as young as 14 have overdosed and died from this deadly drug. Juveniles and families need to know the facts about fentanyl to stop an easily preventable tragedy. We are dedicated to providing help for families and children affected by opioid and drug addiction. For further information, please see the guides below.

Nursery Rhymes Project

The Nursery Rhymes project is a result of approximately 500 community members, our law enforcement agencies, local governments, and businesses who came together in Yavapai County, Arizona to join the fight against human trafficking.

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to control victims for the purposes of engaging in commercial sex acts or labor services against his/her will. Human trafficking exists worldwide, and it exists in our own communities. Although human trafficking is widespread, many victims go unnoticed. Victims rarely come forward to seek help, out of fear of their traffickers, language barriers, and/or fear of law enforcement. For this reason, human trafficking has largely remained a hidden crime.

The volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring this project forward are united in the goal to increase detection and investigation of human trafficking, protect victims and bring suspected traffickers to justice.
