🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT: A Dangerous New Opioid Is Being Sold at Local Gas Stations and Convenience Stores 🚨

Have you seen brightly colored gummies, tablets, or "energy shots" labeled with names like 7OHMZ, Cloud 7, or "Kratom Extract"?

These products contain 7-OH (7-Hydroxymitragynine) — a synthetic opioid that is up to 13 times more potent than morphine.

These products are NOT safe. They are NOT FDA-approved. And they're being sold right here in Edgar and Clark Counties, often placed near energy drinks where teens and young adults can easily access them.

What you need to know:
⚠️ 7-OH causes addiction, respiratory depression, and overdose
⚠️ Poison control calls have surged nationwide
⚠️ The FDA is moving to classify it alongside he**in and L*D
⚠️ Multiple Illinois cities have ALREADY banned these products

What you can do:
✅ Talk to your kids about these products
✅ Check labels when shopping
✅ Contact Paris City Council and the Edgar & Clark County Boards to request a local ban
✅ Share this post to spread awareness

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, HRC is here to help. Call us at 217-465-4118.
📍 Life Center: 745 E. Court St., Paris

Parents and community members: Do you know what challenges local students are facing?

HRC's Prevention program encourages Edgar and Clark County schools to participate and can help administrators facilitate the process. The data helps communities make informed decisions about youth programs and resources.

🎄A little holiday cheer, shared a bit late but just as meaningful.

A couple weeks ago, our HRC team came together to celebrate the season with our annual staff holiday party. It was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, great food, and time to simply enjoy being together outside of the important work we do every day.

We’re grateful for this dedicated, compassionate team and the energy they bring—not just during the holidays, but all year long. Moments like these are a reminder of how much we value connection, appreciation, and taking time to celebrate one another.

Here are a few snapshots from the evening that capture the spirit perfectly. 💙
