Taking chances, trying something new is normal during the teen years. It's healthy, however, ma*****na use is not worth taking a chance with. Ma*****na use negatively effects thinking and problem-solving, memory and learning, impairs driving, and decision making. Take chances by learning a new skill or hobby, take a chance by making a new friend. Stay healthy and steer clear of ma*****na. *****na

Did you know there is a summer surge in substance use among young adults and teens? First time use of alcohol peaks in June and July, why? Increased free time, social activities, mental health challenges, and lack of supervision. Take a role in preventing your youth or young adult from using alcohol, create alcohol free activities, talk to your kids about drinking, check in with them often, provide supervised activities.

Today is International Day Against Drug Misuse and Illicit Trafficking.

Stigma can be one of the biggest barriers preventing people from seeking help for substance use. When people fear judgment, shame, or discrimination, they are less likely to reach out for treatment and support.

Here's how you can help reduce stigma:
➡️ Lead with compassion
➡️ Recognize that drug dependence is a medical condition that deserves treatment and support
➡️ Speak up when you see someone being treated unfairly because of their substance use history

Recovery starts with understanding, and every person deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to heal.
