Show Notes

How do we educate our youth on the dangers of fentanyl? Song for Charlie has free educational resources. Listen to a conversation with Ed Ternan, father of Charlie, who pivoted his marketing career to overdose prevention.

Ed Ternan’s professional background includes marketing communications, product development and project management. A pragmatic “problem solver,” he has extensive experience building teams and managing strategic partnerships. Since Charlie’s death, he has dedicated himself to informing young people about new risks of self-medication and recreational drug use in the age of synthetic drugs like fentanyl.

Ed and his wife Mary have formed a nonprofit charity called Song for Charlie, where they create and distribute social media campaigns and educational materials.  Their programs provide fact-based resources directly to young people in plain language and encourage healthier alternatives for managing stress.

Ed has a BS in Political Science from Santa Clara University and an MBA from Pepperdine University.
