As students head back to school, they're returning to more than classrooms. They're navigating new friendships, social pressures, and decisions that can shape their future.
Parents and caregivers remain one of the strongest protective factors against youth substance use. Research continues to show that young people are more likely to make healthy choices when trusted adults stay engaged, communicate openly, and set clear expectations.
Talk with your child about marijuana, vaping, fentanyl, and other substances before challenges arise. Starting the conversation early can help prepare them to make informed decisions when they're faced with difficult situations.
Prevention starts at home.

Why do some people seem like they’re just sleeping?
Fentanyl poisoning is often quiet. Someone may appear to be sleeping peacefully while their breathing becomes dangerously slow or stops.

Pills look the same.
Fake pills are designed to look exactly like real prescription medications.
According to the DEA, 6 out of 10 fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills contain a potentially deadly dose.
You can't see the difference.
That's why awareness matters.

One Pill Can Kill. Just 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be a potentially deadly dose. That's about the size of a few grains of salt.
The danger is that counterfeit pills are designed to look exactly like legitimate prescription medications. You can't see the difference.
According to the DEA, 5 out of 10 counterfeit pills tested contained a potentially deadly dose of fentanyl.
A few grains of salt.
One counterfeit pill.
