Prescription opioids can be an important part of managing pain, but using them safely matters. Take medications only as prescribed, avoid taking more than directed and talk with your provider about how long you may need them.

If you’re prescribed pain medication after an injury or procedure, ask questions and understand your options. A conversation with your provider can help you make informed choices about your care.

Every person has a story, and there's always more to someone than what we see on the surface.

Our experiences, challenges and circumstances may look different, but everyone deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity and respect. When we look beyond labels and assumptions, we create opportunities for understanding and meaningful connection.

A stronger, more supportive community starts with how we treat one another. See the person first. Put Humanity First.

Being there can make a difference.

When young people know they can talk without being judged, it can be easier to open up about mental health, substance use, peer pressure and other challenges they may be facing. Checking in, listening and building trust can help them feel less alone and more supported.

A little time at home can go a long way toward keeping schools healthier and helping everyone get back to learning sooner. Learn more at cdc.gov/children-and-school-preparedness/php/interventions/index.html

Their Story Can Still Make a Difference

Losing someone to overdose can leave a lasting impact. For some, honoring that loss means helping others understand the risks, find support and know that prevention is possible. If you’ve lost someone, your experience matters. Sharing what you’ve learned, supporting harm reduction and helping others access resources can make a meaningful difference in your community.

Honor their memory by helping comfort others.

It Only Takes a Tiny Amount

Fentanyl is extremely potent. An amount as small as a few grains of salt can be deadly, and its effects can be unpredictable from person to person.

Knowing the risk can make a difference. Carry naloxone, know how to use it and be prepared to respond in an overdose emergency.
