Let's challenge the misconceptions about drugs and alcohol. Shockingly, many young people believe that regular alcohol and marijuana use is low risk. It's time to change the narrative with real, science-backed conversations about substance use and its impact on health. Why focus on this issue? It's our chance to push forward with innovative prevention strategies, shining a light on the creative efforts across the country to keep our communities informed and safe. 👉 Let’s share the facts: • Alcohol and drug misuse isn’t as harmless as it seems. • Talking about it can change perceptions and save lives. Together, we can build a foundation of knowledge that saves lives. Let’s make prevention a priority and inspire action this week and beyond! 🔗 Dive into the resources here: https://lnkd.in/gDG4t-CF #SubstanceMisusePrevention #HealthyChoices #CommunityHealth #AwarenessToAction #PreventionIsPower #NDAFW #NIDA #NIH #SAMHSA #Healthcare

Evidence Shows Injection Sites Don’t Work A critical examination of safe injection sites reveals their ineffectiveness in addressing the drug crisis.

It is essential to reconsider the legalisation and support of such initiatives to protect community health and safety.  #preventdontpromote #drug use #DemandReduction #RecoveryPosse Go to...
