On Friday, Nichole had the opportunity to educate a group of young people from Nichols Temple AME Church and NAME Ministries about opioids and other drugs. These amazing teenagers are learning all about substances, so they can produce and host a podcast about the opioid epidemic. . .for teens, by teens!!

The kiddos took great notes, asked amazing questions, and had fun too!
