Words Matter

Overdose can happen to anyone

It may feel like a small thing at the time, but every conversation matters when it comes to improving how we talk about substance use and making space for everyone to feel validated and supported 🫶

In the days that followed, I heard one word over and over....👇

Spring is in full swing, and so are the coyotes! 🐾 Keep your furry friend safe by avoiding areas with thick brush where coyotes may be living and sticking to designated paths or dog parks.

Share this tweet with a dog owner you know in the area, and let's protect our pups!

A new ordinance has been adopted to prohibit the feeding of wildlife. 🦃

Intentional feeding of wild animals can cause them to lose fear of humans and this can increase the risks of a negative interaction or aggressive behavior. View more info here: https://t.co/jRcDrTQHUJ
