CRUSH of St. Charles County

The messages kids hear about food and their bodies add up fast. What they see, what they hear, and what they believe about themselves all start to shape their confidence in ways we don’t always realize. Join pediatrician and author Dr. Lauren Hartman on June 3 for a conversation that helps shift the focus from pressure and perfection to balance, confidence, and self-worth. You’ll walk away with simple, practical ways to talk about food, model healthy habits, and support kids in feeling good in their own bodies. Save your spot today and be part of the conversation that can help kids grow up confident, secure, and comfortable in who they are: https://loom.ly/4kBDmg8

Missouri prevention experts emphasize giving teens safe ways to reach out when something doesn’t feel right — especially when alcohol or impaired driving is involved. Creating a simple code word or phrase gives youth a safe exit strategy if they’re ever in an uncomfortable or risky situation.

Empowering youth with a plan protects them from impaired driving risks and supports healthier choices.

Kids see gummy medicine like vitamins, melatonin, or cannab*s and think “candy!”

But they can be dangerous. Here’s how to help your kids stay safe:
🍬 Store gummies up, away, and out of sight, preferably in a locked box or cabinet.
🍬 Never call gummy medicines “candy”.
🍬 Keep gummies in their original container.

Call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222 to get connected to your local poison center. Poison Centers are here for you with confidential, non-judgmental, and free expert advice.
