Time to check in with your mental health!

07/25/2025

Fentanyl can be really difficult to detect, until it's too late.

Stay safe and only use medications that have been prescribed to you. Even friends or people you trust might not know what's in unprescribed medications they have.

According to the CDC, “It is nearly impossible to tell if drugs have been mixed with fentanyl unless you test your drugs with fentanyl test strips, and even then, remember that no test is 100% accurate. Drugs may still contain fentanyl or fentanyl analogs even if you receive a negative result.”*

Adult alcohol use influences youth alcohol use.

Adolescents tend to drink if the adults around them drink or binge drink alcohol.

For example, a study showed that adolescents whose parents drank 5 or more days in a month were significantly more likely to drink alcohol than adolescents whose parents didn't drink.*

Keeping the youth in our lives healthy and helping them avoid alcohol isn't just about their behavior. Being a positive example and acting like the adult you hope they grow to become shows youth how they can live a life that doesn't center substances!

Around 90% of underage drinking is binge drinking.*

Loosely defined as having four or five drinks in just two hours, binge drinking is especially dangerous for kids.

Our brains continue to grow and develop well into our 20s and using substances like ma*****na is extremely harmful to that growth.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, using cannabis at a young age has been linked to mental health conditions, including the likelihood of developing psychosis and developing cannabis use disorder later in life.

Staying away from cannabis as a young adult sets the stage for a brighter, more hopeful adulthood.
