Last October, Stephanie Shepard lost her son, age 18, to a drug overdose. Since then, she has formed a nonprofit Hope Above Fear to establish a youth inpatient rehab in Escambia County. She is running three surveys to provide the county’s Opioid Task Force with data on opioid/fentanyl abuse among local children ages 19 and under.
