What is it? Why Does it Matter?
Beginning today, the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office will share a series of posts about drug use among teens and what families should know.
Through the month of October, and in recognition of Red Ribbon Week (Oct. 23-Oct. 31), we’ll look at substances teens may encounter or have access to, how drugs are marketed and sold through social media, and the slang, emojis and text messages that can be used to discuss drug sales. We’ll also talk about the connection between substance use, mental health and su***de risk.
Our goal is to give parents, caregivers and teens information that can start conversations and help them recognize when someone needs support. We hope you’ll follow along, share these posts and talk with the young people in your life.
