For Alex’s parents, rural Ohio seemed like the perfect location to raise a family. In its rolling hills and vast farmland laid the safety and security of a small town setting. The schools were filled with neighbors’ children and residents did not think twice about leaving the doors to their homes unlocked. That is, until their teenage son became an opiate addict.
I work closely with community partners to create formats that will hopefully open the eyes of individuals to the realities of prescription drug abuse while empowering them to consider choices that can be made to avoid addiction.
Recently I was talking with a community group about injury prevention and ways they could incorporate lessons and safe behaviors in their mentoring relationships with children.
