Have you ever talked to your kids about the potential consequences of drug abuse?
Schools may offer their own programs that educate students about the important topic, but advocates in New Jersey say it is crucial for parents and guardians to be part of the conversation and they need to get involved before kids reach an age at which falling victim to peer pressure is more likely. I think those conversations can t wait until a child is in their teen years, said Angelo Valente, executive director of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey. If they re not learning it in their home, they re learning it through peers, they re learning it on the internet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ U.S. Representative David Trone (D-Md.), along with Reps. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.), Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-N.M.), and David McKinley (R-W.V.), has introduced the bipartisan
Opioid Patients Right to Know Act to help prevent opioid addiction across the country that is based on the success of the New Jersey Patient Notification Act.
The New Jersey law, authored and passed in New Jersey in 2017 and since replicated in 18 states, requires prescribers to notify patients or their parents and guardians about the addictive nature of opioids, as well as non-opioid alternatives available, prior to prescribing an opioid.
