To help protect your family, Northpointe’s prevention team has free medication lock bags available! These bags help keep youth, pets, and others safe from accidental or intentional access to medications.

This October, during National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month, we’re joining the Challenge to educate our community and raise awareness about safe medicine practices. Contact us today to get your lock bag and join the effort!

Did you know that 1 in 3 young adults has misused a prescription drug, and 1 in 27 teens has abused over-the-counter cough medicine to get high? These substances can be easier for young people to access than illicit drugs, making prevention all the more important.

To shine a light on this issue, we're bringing back the Challenge this October during National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month. Coalitions across the country will be participating to educate their communities, and we hope you will too.

Brush up on the guidelines and start planning how you can take part: https://www.doseofpreventionchallenge.org/

⁉️ CHANGE Coalition Launches Positive Community Billboards Across Niagara Falls ⬇️

The CHANGE Coalition is proud to announce the launch of new billboards across Niagara Falls, highlighting the voices and strengths of local youth. These billboards feature powerful messages and data that reflect the true experiences of our students.

Using data from the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey (YRBSS), we’re sharing a message often overlooked: 94.8% of Niagara Falls youth did not binge drink in the past 30 days. This statistic reinforces what we know—most students are making healthy and positive choices.

The billboards also showcase the authentic voices of incoming 7th graders in the Niagara Falls School District. During a listening session, students were asked, “What do you want people to know about students of Niagara Falls?” Their answers speak volumes:

“We are kind.”
“We are all human beings.”
“We are respectful, responsible, safe, and bully free.”
These words, straight from the students themselves, remind us of the strength, compassion, and resilience of Niagara Falls youth.

The CHANGE Coalition invites the community to keep an eye out for these inspiring billboards around the city—and to celebrate the positivity, responsibility, and kindness our students bring every day.

Just like with medications, alcohol, and cannabis, ni****ne products should always be locked up and kept out of reach. Protect your home by securing all substances. Need a lock bag? Reach out to us today!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration calls on ni****ne pouch manufacturers to use child-resistant packaging to protect American children from accidental, harmful exposure.
