Let’s Make a Difference

Let’s Make a Difference is a community-focused initiative dedicated to preventing prescription and opioid medication misuse. Our goal is to help families and residents keep medications safe at home, properly dispose of unused or expired medications, and reduce the risks of accidental misuse.

Through partnerships with local pharmacies, community organizations, and prevention programs, we provide educational resources, community events, and outreach efforts to raise awareness about safe medication practices. By working together, we empower the community to take simple steps that protect health, prevent substance misuse, and create safer neighborhoods.

Prescription Drugs & You

Prescription Drugs and You is a public health awareness campaign focused on reducing the risks associated with prescription drug misuse. The campaign emphasizes that while prescription medicines can be essential for health, they also carry the potential for misuse, harm, and addiction if not used, stored, and disposed of properly. It highlights that everyone has a role in prevention and provides communities with resources to raise awareness about safe practices, including education on safe medication use, secure storage, and proper disposal of unused or expired prescriptions. The campaign supports community efforts to strengthen protective factors and promote safe behaviors that reduce prescription drug misuse and related harms.
