A quick heads up for parents. Today's cannabis is far stronger than what many adults remember, and v**e versions are easy to hide and nearly odorless.
That combination is exactly why the conversation matters more than the search. You do not need to be an expert. Staying curious, and staying calm when it comes up, is what keeps them talking to you.

Real talk about pills. If it didn't come from a pharmacy with your name on it, nobody actually knows what's in it, not even the person who handed it to you.
That's the whole risk. naloxone, the nasal spray brand narcan, reverses an opioid overdose, it's over the counter now, and anyone can carry it.
Knowing where to get it is just a normal thing to know.

It's hispanic heritage month and around here that's basically just tuesday.
Our culture is a real strength: familia, comunidad, the people who show up with food when things get hard. That connection is protective, and that is mental health too. lean into it.
Y si no estás bien, hablar no te hace débil. Call someone.

Today is world su***de prevention day. Here's the part that matters day to day: you don't have to fix anyone to help them. you just have to notice, and stay.
Check on the friend or relative who went quiet and if you're the one struggling, you are not a burden and you don't have to white-knuckle it alone.

Homecoming and fall events are around the corner, which means more parties and more chances for alcohol to show up.
The most useful thing you can do is talk before the event, not after. Keep it short: you are not drinking, and if plans change or you feel unsafe, call and I will come, no lecture. A clear, judgment-free way out is the kind a teen will actually use.

It takes a whole community, and this night is proof of it.
At our annual Community Champions Award event, we got to recognize the people across South Tucson who show up for our young people, from business and media to law enforcement and city government. In this video, Jamal shares what the event means and the heart behind the work: reducing substance misuse, promoting mental health and wellness, and helping our youth thrive.
If you would like to be part of it, you can join our coalition, the United Southside Neighborhoods Coalition.

Thank you to everyone who came out and represented for their sector.

High driving gets treated like no big deal. It isn't. W**d slows your reaction time and messes with coordination and judgment, the exact things you need behind the wheel. buzzed, high, whatever you call it, if you're altered you're not driving.
Text someone for a ride. That's the whole move.
