Governor Glenn Youngkin and First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin continue to build on their efforts to combat the fentanyl crisis at CARITAS in Richmond and announced the statewide expansion of It Only Takes One.
The It Only Takes One initiative expansion will target additional communities across the Commonwealth that are high substance use areas and have been impacted by the fentanyl epidemic. In these critical areas, the First Lady will visit schools, Community Service Boards, churches and recovery centers to spread fentanyl awareness.
Additionally, First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin introduced the Fentanyl Families Ambassador Program, empowering impacted families to share their stories and raise community awareness.
“We are making real progress in the fight against fentanyl,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Through stronger policies, enhanced resources in schools, and expanded recovery programs, we are taking critical steps to protect our communities. With the statewide expansion of It Only Takes One and new Fentanyl Families Ambassador Program, we’re ensuring that families have the tools they need to amplify their stories and save lives across Virginia.”
