💚 OVERDOSE PREVENTION STARTS WITH BEING PREPARED

Knowing where to find naloxone and how to safely dispose of medications are simple steps that can help keep our families and community safer.

💊 Keep medications secure. Store medications in a safe, secure location and keep track of what is in your home.

♻️ Dispose of unused medications safely. Unused or expired medications can be taken to an appropriate medication drop-off location.

🛟 Know where to find naloxone. Naloxone can quickly reverse an opioid overdose and is available through distribution sites and participating pharmacies.

📍 Local medication drop-off:
Mineral County Sheriff’s Office
105 South A Street
Hawthorne, NV 89415

🔎 You can also use Nevada’s Overdose Reversal Medication Finder to locate naloxone resources near you.

Parents & caregivers: Let’s talk about va**ng. 💚

Sometimes the signs that a teen may be struggling with ni****ne can be easy to miss. Irritability, restlessness, strong cravings, trouble concentrating, or changes in mood and behavior may be reasons to check in.

But you don't have to start with a lecture. ❤️

Try starting with curiosity:
🗣️ Listen first.
💬 Ask open-ended questions.
🤝 Avoid shame or judgment.
❤️ Let your teen know you're there to help.

You might ask:
👉 “What do you think about va**ng?”
👉 “Have you noticed va**ng around school or with friends?”
👉 “How are things going lately?”
👉 “Is there anything you want to talk about?”

One conversation can open the door to many more.

SAFER HOMES. STRONGER COMMUNITIES. 🏠💚

Small steps at home can help keep medications safe and protect our kids, teens, families, and neighbors.

🔒 STORE SAFELY
Keep medications secure and out of reach of children, teens, and visitors.

👀 MONITOR USE
Know what medications are in your home and how they are being used.

🚫 DON'T SHARE
Prescription medications are prescribed for a specific person. Never share them.

🗑️ DISPOSE PROPERLY
Get rid of unused or expired medications through an appropriate medication take-back or disposal option.

Safe medication habits help create healthier, safer homes — and stronger communities.

STRESS HAPPENS. 💙

School. Family. Friends. Work. Sports. Life.

Sometimes everything feels like a lot.

When stress starts piling up, try something healthy that gives your brain a chance to slow down:

🎵 Listen to music
🎨 Create something
🚶 Take a walk
🌿 Take a few slow breaths
🗣️ Talk to someone you trust

You don't have to handle everything by yourself.

Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. 💚

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 💚

Sometimes the people around us are struggling in ways we can't see.

Changes in mood, pulling away from friends, increased stress, changes in sleep, or talking about feeling hopeless can be signs that someone may need extra support.

If you're worried about someone, don't be afraid to ask:

“Are you okay?”

Listen. Take them seriously. Help connect them with a trusted adult or professional.

And remember — asking for help is a strength.

📱 Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

You don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes simply being there can make a difference. ❤️

💙 You Don't Have to Handle It Alone

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do when you're struggling — or when you're worried about a friend.

If you notice changes in someone's mood, behavior, or the way they're coping, don't be afraid to reach out.

🗣️ Talk to a trusted adult.
💙 Listen without judgment.
📱 Encourage them to get help.
🆘 If someone is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988 for support.

You don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is notice, listen, and help connect someone to support.

Medication Safety Starts at Home 💙

Medications can help us feel better when they are used correctly — but they can also be dangerous when they are misused or taken by someone they weren't prescribed for.

Help keep medications safe in your home:

🔒 LOCK IT
Store medications securely and out of reach of children and teens.

👀 MONITOR IT
Know what medications are in your home and keep track of them.

🚫 NEVER SHARE IT
Never share prescription medication — even with a friend or family member. A medication prescribed for someone else may be dangerous.

🗑️ DISPOSE OF IT SAFELY
Don't leave unused or expired medications sitting around. Use a safe medication disposal option when available.

Small steps can help prevent accidental poisoning, misuse, and prescription drug misuse.

Talk with your kids about medication safety and make a plan for how medications will be stored and disposed of in your home.

Talking to Your Teen About THC 🌿

Talking with your teen about cannabis doesn't have to turn into an argument.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is listen first.

Our Frontier Community Coalition – Talking to Your Teen About THC resource provides information and conversation tips to help parents and trusted adults have more open, productive conversations with young people about cannabis.

💬 Ask questions.
👂 Listen without immediately judging.
🧠 Talk about the developing brain.
❤️ Keep the door open for future conversations.

Prevention isn't just about telling young people what not to do. It's about building the trust, connection, and protective factors that help them make healthy decisions.

**Start the conversation before there's a problem.**
