Media campaigns
Our media campaigns are created to educate, change social norms, and reduce youth substance use in our community. We are constantly collecting data on substance use trends and focus our efforts accordingly. Campaigns include billboards, mailers, radio advertisements, newspaper ads, posters, and Facebook advertisements.

Everyone has a role in keeping our kids and teens safe! Just remember to Watch, Drop, and Talk!
👀Watch – Know what prescriptions are in your house and keep track of how many you have.
📮Drop – Don’t keep unused, unwanted, or expired prescriptions in your home. Drop them off at your local prescription drop boxes at your pharmacy or police station, or dispose of them safely at home
💬Talk – Have intentional conversations about prescription medicines with kids and teens in your life. Teach them they should never share their prescription with someone else, and should never take another person’s prescription medication.

🍽️ Parents, study after study has made it clear that having regular unplugged meals together as a family is linked to behaviors all parents want in their kids: Lower rates of substance use & depression, better peer relationships, more self-esteem, and even better grades!
😀 If you have just four, 20-minute meals with your family a week, the benefits will add up!
