The "Think Twice" campaign, in partnership with the Lake County Sheriff's Office, focuses on raising awareness about the dangers of drug use, particularly fentanyl, which poses a significant threat in communities.
The campaign encourages teens to think critically before accepting or trying drugs, highlighting that even a single pill can be deadly due to the prevalence of fentanyl in counterfeit drugs.
Key messages include:
- The importance of staying informed
- Recognizing the risks
- Making empowered choices to protect your future
Resources for education and support are also provided to help teens and parents navigate these challenges. (Links to resources will be available soon)
