RED RIBBON WEEK: This week we celebrated Red Ribbon Week in schools across Florida with presentations and materials to help kids live drug free! We presented some good news – fewer teens report regular drug use – and some not so good news – we still lose too many young people to opioids like fentanyl. We answered lots of questions about drugs and encouraged students and teachers to use the Poison Help line to keep their families safe. Are you interested in hosting one of our educators for next year’s events at your school? Reach out to our education staff at your local center: https://floridapoisoncontrol.org/contact/contact-us/.
