From vapes to cannabis to ho**ah, secondhand smoke from all products can expose people to harmful chemicals and pollutants.

In this blog, Onjewel Smith and Traci Kennedy from American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation break down the risks of secondhand smoke exposure and why there is no safe level of exposure.

The NFL Draft kicked off last night in Pittsburgh! No matter how yinz are celebrating, have your team’s back—the friends you came with and the fans around you. Carry Narcan (naloxone). It can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life.

Narcan is free across Pennsylvania through our Overdose Prevention Program, available from more than 100 local partners. You can also request it by mail—shoutout to Prevention Point Pittsburgh, which helps run the statewide mail-to-home option.

Since the start of the Shapiro Administration, more than 15,000 overdose reversals have been reported using naloxone distributed statewide—that’s thousands of times Pennsylvanians were there and ready.

✨ It feels good to do good. ✨

This weekend, EACTC was very proud to recognize 14 incredible young people from our community on the ice at a Hershey Bears game through the Do the Right Thing program—each honored for acts of kindness, leadership, and making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Moments like these remind us that when we celebrate and reinforce positive behavior, we’re not just recognizing individual actions—we’re shaping a stronger, more connected community. Programs like Do the Right Thing help build the protective factors we know matter most: connection, recognition, and a sense of belonging. When young people feel seen and valued for doing the right thing, they’re more likely to keep showing up for others.

We are so proud of these students for leading with kindness and showing all of us what’s possible. 💙
