I had the pleasure of joining Elizabeth Hashagen and Kevin Craig from Porzio Compliance Services for a great discussion about fentanyl overdoses and ways in which parents can become more proactive in addressing the dangers with their kids.
Key takeaways:
Talk with your kids about drugs and alcohol early and often. Be honest and clear about the potential consequences.
Teach your kids to talk about their mental health - ask how they are feeling and keep an eye out for anxiety and depression.
Watch for tell-tale signs and symptoms of substance use - social withdrawal, shift in friend groups, changes in financial status.
Keep tabs on your kids - they don't have a "right to privacy" when their lives are at stake.
Lead with compassion, but be clear about the consequences when your kids break household rules.
