Have you ever wondered… “Do I have a drinking problem?”

You’re not alone—and asking the question is a powerful first step. 💭

If you’ve ever tried to stop and couldn’t, experienced blackouts, or felt like your drinking is starting to impact your life… it may be time to take a closer look.

💡 The good news? Change is possible.
There are simple ways to start slowing down:
✔️ Take a break from your routine
✔️ Track your alcohol use
✔️ Avoid triggers
✔️ Don’t drink on an empty stomach
✔️ Reach out for support

Recovery is possible, and support is here in our community. 🤝

The Edgar County ROSC Council and Edgar County Public Health Department are partnering with Mayo Middle School to bring the Hidden in Plain Sight presentation to our community.

This interactive experience allows parents, caregivers, and educators to walk through a simulated teen bedroom and learn how to spot signs of possible substance use and other at-risk behaviors.

Narcan and informational resources will be available.
