Happy Earth Day! Quitting Smoking is good for you and the earth!

POV: you’re the director of Saving Lives Coalition just trying to have a normal morning… 😅

So there Szonja was, opening up for the day, coffee in hand… when she accidentally triggered the alarm 🚨 (oops).

Next thing she knew, the police showed up to check everything out.

But Szonja is practical… so when life gave her unexpected visitors, she make it count 🤷‍♀️

So of course, Szonja took the opportunity to share what we do (and yes, they left with a lockbox in hand 💙)

Huge thank you to our local officers for their quick response and for everything you do to keep our community safe 🙏
(And sorry again about the alarm! 😅)

Not all warning signs are obvious.
Alcohol misuse can look like:
• Mood swings
• Risky decisions
• Changes in sleep or eating
• Increased secrecy

Awareness doesn't have to manifest as judgement, but protection.
Knowing the signs could help you save a life.

📚 We visited the library last week to distribute medicine lockboxes to parents at the Toddler & Preschool storytimes and it was a resounding success!

🤱 64 families took home a medicine lockbox to lock up their prescription medications.

👏Thank you to Angelica Cisneros, District Representative, Office of Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón for joining us on Tuesday to meet the community!

As Poison Prevention Week comes to an end, remember: most poisonings happen at home and are preventable.
Store medications safely, keep chemicals locked away, and save the Poison Control number (1-800-222-1222).
Awareness saves lives.

Mixing alcohol with common medications can:
- Slow breathing
- Increase overdose risk
- Cause dangerous side effects

This includes prescriptions you may already have at home.
💊 + 🍷 isn’t safe.

Store medications safely. Ask questions. Stay aware.
