About the Toolkit
Too increase awareness and understanding of the opioid epidemic, and to foster meaningful dialogue among young people, families and community members we created a toolkit that contains easy-to-access and timely information about everything you should know about opioids. Education, discussion, role-plays and media-based activities cover topics such as:
- What Are Opioids?
- Health Risks and Opioid Use Disorder
- Talking with Youth, Parents, and Health Care Providers about Opioids
- Medication Disposal
- Preventing and Reversing Overdoses
- Treatment and Resource Directory
Follow the toolkit outline, using any modules, media, or activities you like. All of the information, discussions, worksheets are appropriate for youth, parents and teachers alike.
