Mental health and substance use are deeply connected—and prevention starts young. 🧠✨

Our childhood experiences can shape our health, well-being, and ability to cope with challenges. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can increase risk factors that impact health later in life. But there’s another side of the story: Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) can help build resilience, strengthen connections, and support healthy development.

Prevention means more than reducing risks—it means increasing protective factors that help children, youth, and families thrive. Supportive relationships, safe and stable environments, and strong community connections can all help buffer the effects of adversity and promote resilience.

At MCPC, we’re committed to creating communities where young people have the support, connections, and opportunities they need to build healthy futures. 💙

Overdose affects individuals, families, and entire communities—and ending the stigma starts with coming together. 💜

Through education, shared experiences, and open conversation, we can turn awareness into action and work together to prevent overdose and save lives. 💡🤝

Checking in, staying connected, and simply being present can make a bigger difference than having all the “right” words. 💛

Your child notices when you show up—and those everyday moments of connection help build trust and create a foundation for open, honest conversations.

Not sure how to start talking with your child about substance use? You don’t have to have all the answers. SAMHSA’s "Talk. They Hear You." resources offer tips and tools to help parents and caregivers get the conversation started. 💬

Today is National Fentanyl Prevention & Awareness Day — a day to remember the lives lost to fentanyl and recognize the devastating impact it continues to have on individuals, families, and communities. 💜

To help spread awareness and understanding, Texas Pictures Documentaries has created the “Fentanyl Poisoning Series” on YouTube, featuring real stories from individuals and families whose lives have been forever changed by fentanyl poisoning and overdose.

Today, we invite you to listen, learn, and remember — and to take steps to help protect our community. One important way to be prepared is by knowing how to recognize an opioid overdose and administer naloxone, a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life.

👉 Take a moment to watch the “Fentanyl Poisoning Series” at tinyurl.com/FentanylPoisoningSeries

👉 Learn about where you can get naloxone and how to properly use it by visiting mauryprevention.org/naloxone-narcan-info/
