🎃🍬 Community Drug Coalition Presentation at Eunice Elementary School 🍬🎃

Today, the Community Drug Coalition of Lea County had the opportunity to visit Eunice Elementary School to talk with students about the dangers of drugs and the importance of candy safety during Halloween.

We discussed how to never take candy from strangers, how to tell the difference between real candy and dangerous pills, and why it’s important to avoid eating open candy, popcorn balls, or fruit received while trick-or-treating. 🍎🍭

Our goal is to keep our children safe, informed, and confident in making good choices this Halloween and beyond! 🧡👻

On October 17th, we had the honor of being invited by the Family Advocacies and Representatives of New Mexico in Albuquerque to share the work we’re doing in Lea County through our programs that focus on substance abuse prevention and supporting families in need through parenting education.

It was a wonderful opportunity to highlight the positive impact our community efforts are making and to connect with others who share the same passion for strengthening New Mexico families. 💙
