Below is information about an upcoming important event, Stairway to Heroin, October 25 at South High School. These events have been held throughout the area for a few years. They are usually highly attended, and we are hoping for a VERY large turnout. We will have a live feed into the library with an interpreter for Spanish speaking families. The heroin and prescription drug abuse epidemic is very real, and we need to work as an entire community to address it. Prevention is hard to measure, but according to SAMHSA and MetLife, "kids who learn about the dangers of prescription drug abuse from their parents were significantly less likely to use substances than those who did not." We are providing an opportunity for community learning. Please access this link for more information.
