Please take some time to educate yourselves regarding Drug Endangered Children. The more we understand the impacts of substance misuse, the better we can collaborate and address these problems, including protecting our children. #drugendangeredchildren

[Office of the Utah Attorney General @UtahAG]

Today we bring awareness to the forgotten victims of the opioid epidemic. In the US, 9.2 million children live in homes where a parent or other adult uses illicit drugs. These children often suffer from abuse & neglect. Many test positive for drugs. https://t.co/ewmepX6FA6 #utpol

[Smart Approaches to Marijuana @learnaboutsam]

Marijuana use can damage your lungs and increase the risk of a severe #COVID19 infection.

Additionally, using THC in any form can potentially harm your immune system, making it harder to fight off/recover from this illness.

Please abstain from using marijuana at this time.

If the number of people dying opioid overdose was dying in plane crashes you’d have outrage. Everyone needs to work together to help those in need and to stop opioid addiction. Connection (relationships) is the opposite of addiction. #utpol #hatchfoundation
