We're hosting a youth training on opioid overdose prevention and awareness for ages 12-18 on Tuesday, August 26, at the Clemmons Library located at 6365 James St. Clemmons, NC.

Registration is required. You can register at https://forms.office.com/g/xMdnM1QtLG

Hannah Phillips, a substance use health educator with the county, will talk to them about the impacts of opioids, teach them harm reduction strategies to prevent overdoses and train them on how to use naloxone (also known as Narcan) if needed.

“I kind of compare it to knowing how to do CPR," Phillips said. "Knowing how to give Naloxone is a first responder skill that you hope you never have to use, but it could save someone's life if you are in that situation.”

Clearing the slate and setting the tone. ✨
As a therapist and entrepreneur, I’ve learned that balance isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategy. 🧠💼

Every month won’t be packed, and that’s okay. Sometimes the best move is to pause, plan, and prioritize peace. 🗓️💛

Here’s to organizing with intention, creating space for what matters, and owning our time.
