🎙️ PreventEd interns, Liz Smith and Austin Nico, share their reflections on their time at PreventEd as they enter their final semester at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. During their time at PreventEd, they have practiced applying what they've learned and shared their thoughts on the latest cannabis trends and on how we communicate this information to our teens.

Congratulations to Matt Bitner-Glindzicz on winning the Pioneer Award! 🎉

As founder of St. Louis–based nCase Technologies, Matt is reimagining overdose prevention through human-centered design. After witnessing the barriers that keep people from carrying naloxone, he created the NALOX-1 keychain case to make life-saving medication more accessible and stigma-free.

Through partnerships with hospitals, harm reduction organizations, and public health leaders nationwide, Matt is expanding access to naloxone and helping save lives every day. We’re proud to recognize his innovation and impact! 🎖️

What if alcohol and other drugs were prescribed like medications? Would you still use them, or would the warning labels and side effects make you think twice? 🧐

Much of the public perspective on substances is shaped by how they've been marketed. If you choose to use, make sure you're aware of all the risks.
