Most teens say they trust their parents or caregivers more than anyone when it comes to information and advice about drugs. So, talk to the teens in your life about fentanyl and about how experimenting with drugs can hurt them and their future. Remind them that true friends look out for one another and won't pressure them to take unsafe risks.

Every day over 30 American lives are lost to an impaired driver.

1/3 of all traffic fatalities across the US involve an impaired driver.

In Washington state, that number jumps to 50%.
1/2 of all traffic fatalities across our state are caused by a drunk or high driver.

Saturday nights from 8pm-4am yield more crashes than any other time of the week.

These numbers are astounding, yet also completely preventable.

Please drive sober. Always.

We are happy to have a representative at CADCA’s Mid-Year training this week. Leah is the Vice-Chair of our organization and this is her 5th CADCA training since 2015. She is excited to start classes today and learn from some top members in the prevention field, with the ultimate goal of bringing her new found knowledge back into our community so we can implement new strategies for our own youth’s success. 
DEA, CDC, SAMHSA, CPS, police in all levels of law enforcement, and many others are also represented this week - all with the same goal: youth substance use awareness and prevention.
Have a great week, Leah!
