Be Smart Don't Start

TIP: Create a safety plan in case your child is offered or faced with a difficult decision about opioids, such as texting a code word to a family member. Peer pressure can be powerful, so having realistic action steps and practicing them together in a safe environment will prepare and empower your child to make smart choices when it matters.  Misusing prescription opioids can have major, life threatening consequences including allergic reaction, coma, permanent brain damage and death.
