Alcohol, Tobacco & Other Drug Awareness

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a mental disorder that affects a person’s brain and behavior, leading to a person’s inability to control their use of substances such as legal or illegal drugs, alcohol, or medications. Many times, people develop addictions through using substances to mask or cope with uncomfortable feelings, life stressors, or co-occurring mental illnesses.

The more we connect with people, reduce stigmas, and provide supports for mental health, the more we prevent substance use disorders.

The New Drug Talk: Connect to ProtectFentanyl has changed the drug landscape, and we have to change how we talk to kids about it. This site provides education, free tools, and expert advice to help your family connect and stay safe.

Connect to Protect

Practical strategies and resources to help families through education, connection, and prevention.

Fentanyl Awareness

May 10 is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Get the facts about Fentanyl.

This is a national public health crisis. People, especially young people, are ingesting illegally manufactured fentanyl without knowing it and dying at alarming rates as a result.

FAKE & FATAL

One of the best ways to protect kids from substance abuse is by having regular and open conversations to educate them about the risks. Listen to them without judgment. Also monitor their social media use. Drugs are often offered by someone that they know or a stranger that they meet on social media.

If you notice a change, ask about it.

Trust your instincts.
