National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is October 24, 2026, 10AM to 2PM.
Safe Medication Disposal Helps Protect Your Family.

Did you know that keeping unused medications at home can increase the risk of misuse, theft, or accidental poisoning? More than 100,000 Americans lose their lives each year to drug poisoning or overdose.

Here is why safe disposal matters:
• Unused medications left in medicine cabinets are vulnerable to misuse and theft
• Proper disposal helps reduce accidental poisonings in homes and communities
• This simple action can help save lives and protect those you care about

Dropping off your unneeded medications helps prevent drug misuse and addiction. Make safe disposal part of your routine and be a lifesaver in your community.

Using Prime For Life's evidence-based approach, Dr. Weiner will share practical ways parents can help kids better assess risk, make healthier decisions, and navigate a culture where the buzz is constantly changing.

“What if the person your child turns to for advice, comfort, or a little relationship advice isn’t a person at all?

AI is changing more than how young people find information. It’s becoming a companion, a confidant, and even a virtual boyfriend or girlfriend. And that raises some big questions about how these tools could shape the way youth build relationships, handle emotions, and decide who to trust…

On November 17, join Robbie Torney of Common Sense Media for a closer look at AI companions, the safety concerns behind these products, and what parents and caregivers can do to help young people navigate this changing landscape.We’ll explore what Common Sense Media’s product testing reveals and how to have conversations that help youth think critically about the role AI plays in their lives…” Operation Parent
