Friday Night Live

Friday Night Live (FNL) is California’s leading youth development and substance use prevention program held at participating middle and high schools across San Luis Obispo County. All programs create partnerships for positive and healthy youth development, engage youth as active leaders, and provide opportunities for youth to build skills, knowledge, and attitudes that promote future success. 

SLO Behavioral Health Staff lead chapter meetings at San Luis Obispo County middle and high schools during lunch time or after school. While most meetings are in the classroom, students have the opportunity to help plan larger, off-campus events such as Mock Rock, Reindeer Run, and Spring Conferences.

Fentanyl High is a documentary made by students FOR students. The film follows several high school students as they tell the heartbreaking truth their peers and families experienced with Fentanyl poisoning. Shot from the perspective and experiences of high school students in Santa Clara County, Fentanyl High explores the brain chemistry behind why Fentanyl kills and how easily it can get into the hands of teens.

The film also explores how teens deal with emotional pain, navigate high school party culture, and are at risk of buying fake pills pretending to be Adderall, OxyContin, Percocet or Xanax on social media. 

Join the screening and help be the change on your campus and community. Presented by SLO Behavioral Health, SLO County Opioid Safety Coalition, SLO County Friday Night Live in partnership with San Luis Obispo County Office of Education. 

Flyer Fentanyl High Screening 11/5/25.
