Substance misuse is a serious public health concern, and prevention begins with education. Learn about the harms of non-prescription medications, opioids and fentanyl. Experts will discuss current trends and health risks, explain how targeted marketing and social media affects youth behavior, and provide tips to reduce the risk. Parents and youth grades 6-12, as well as any adults in the community, including relatives, co-workers, teachers, coaches and friends of young adults welcome.
