🌌 May the 4th Be With You… and Protect Against Overdose. 🌟

Even the strongest Jedi aren't immune to danger β€” and in our galaxy, overdose is a real and rising threat.

πŸ’¬ Talk to your kids. Ask questions. Be their Yoda in a world full of dark temptations

This May 4th, be the hero they need:
🚫 Say no to risky choices
πŸ’‘ Carry Narcan β€” it’s a life-saving tool
