Give the Gift That Lasts: A Healthy Future

This holiday season, connection matters more than ever, and so does protecting our kids’ health.

Va**ng and to***co products may seem like “no big deal” to some teens, but they can lead to lifelong addiction and serious health risks.

As a parent or trusted adult, your voice is powerful, especially when it comes from a place of care.

đź’¬ This season, make time for honest conversations.
❤️ Your support could be the reason they choose to stay to***co-free.

Learn how to talk to young people about va**ng:

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and to***co-free holiday season.

Para algunos adolescentes, vapear y consumir productos de tabaco puede parecer insignificante, pero pueden provocar una adicciĂłn de por vida y graves riesgos para la salud.
Como padre, madre o adulto de confianza, tu voz es poderosa, especialmente cuando proviene de un entorno de apoyo.
đź’¬ Esta temporada, dedica tiempo para conversaciones sinceras.
❤️ Tu apoyo podría ser la razón por la que decidan dejar de fumar.

Keep Loved Ones Safe This Winter

Winter months can be harder on many people’s mental and physical health, and this can increase the risk of accidental overdoses.

In Colorado, opioid overdoses killed over 1,000 people in 2023. That’s more than 90 people every month. You can help prevent opioid-related deaths by:

🚫💊 Locking up all prescription pain medicine.
🚫💊 Not sharing medicine with anyone else.
đź—‘đź’Š Disposing safely of unused medicine at a local drop-off: https://takemedsseriously.org/safe-disposal/

If you or someone you know needs help, call or text 988. It’s free, confidential, 24/7.
