The Opioid Crisis: Help Teens Make Informed Decisions
Grades: Grades 6-12
Subject Area: Health, Language Arts
Made Possible By: National Association of School Nurses
Raise awareness about the dangers of opioids to help your students make informed choices if they are in a situation involving these drugs.
Connecting the opioid crisis to students’ lives and teaching them how opioids impact the body can help them make life-saving decisions. And alert them to the warning signs of opioid misuse so they can seek help for themselves or family members and know where to get that help if needed.
