JEFFERSON HILLS LIBRARY STANDS UP AGAINST DRUG ABUSE Do you know the best ways to talk to your kids about drugs ?
An average of 22 U . S . teens die each week from illicit fentanyl found in counterfeit pills they were told were Percocet , Xanax , Adderall , etc . Most young people were not addicted to drugs but took a pill they obtained through social media or acquaintances .
We invite parents , teachers , and students to pick-up take-home pamphlets on various drug prevention topics . Learn how our new program , “ One Pill Can Kill ,” discourages the use of any drug that a doctor does not specifically prescribe , and how to talk to your children about this crisis .
Thank you to the drug addiction specialist , Dr . Elizabeth Zona for her help with this program .
