April is a great time to discuss underage drinking and its effects with your children, students and any youth you may work with. We have partnered with Prevention Resources to run a social media campaign around this during April. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram @hunterdondrugfree.

Our partnership with Prevention Resources has resulted in a new PSA about over the counter medicine safety. Using the appropriate measuring tool, safely storing and reading the directions are things that help to keep our kids safe.

The NJ CRC (Cannabis Regulatory Commission) is busy reviewing applications for cannabis businesses. On March 25th the panel approved 68 conditional licenses within the state for cultivators and manufacturers. You can read the info here.

To keep up to date on cannabis in NJ, you can view the Safe Coalition Newsletter here or contact Nick Marcantuono to be added to the distribution list.

We have created stickers to be used wherever you store your Narcan (Naloxone). These stickers alert people to where the medicine is stored for quick access in case of an emergency. If you would like a supply, please contact Wendy.
