💊 If your doctor prescribes an opioid, ask questions before you start taking it.

Understanding your treatment can help you manage pain safely and reduce the risk of misuse or overdose. Ask your healthcare provider:

✔️ Is this medication an opioid?
✔️ Are there non-opioid treatment options?
✔️ How long should I take it?
✔️ How do I stop taking it safely?
✔️ What should I do if my pain isn't improving?

Remember: Opioid overdose can happen—even with prescription medication. Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life.

📱 Do you know what's really in your child's online world?

Social media can connect young people with friends and learning opportunities, but it can also expose them to cyberbullying, online predators, explicit content, and unsafe interactions. The best protection starts with open conversations, healthy screen habits, and staying involved in your child's digital life.

💙 Talk early. Listen often. Stay connected.
