Why Prevention Matters:
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, prevention helps people develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to make good choices or change harmful behaviors. Prevention reduces the risk of behavioral health issues and the likelihood of substance abuse. The Rhode Island Regional Coalitions is a unified group dedicated to educating parents, children, and the entire community about evidence-based prevention skills and the importance of healthy lifestyle choices.

In 2020, the U.S. had one death by suicide every 11 minutes. Suicide is a leading cause of death for people aged 10-34 years. As a result, Congress designated the new 988 dialing code to be operated through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. SAMHSA sees 988 as a first step towards a transformed crisis care system in America. Want to learn more? Click here.

A pill press bought for a few hundred dollars on the internet can manufacture 5,000 fake pills an hour. These pills are made to look exactly like prescription medications, but there is no way to know for sure what's in them, and hundreds of thousands have been found in RI. Many of them contain enough fentanyl to cause a fatal overdose. (Learn more: fentanyl.pvdcode.com).![]()

Can you say, "Holy Sticker Shock!" This past week, our South County PFS team went to liquor stores across Narragansett, North Kingstown, and Chariho to implement Sticker Shock Campaigns. It is important for all Rhody residents to be aware that providing or buying alcohol for those under the age of 21 is illegal. Also, a reminder that these liquor stores are helping us curb underage drinking by always checking identification properly. We thank the all the stores for their compliance and participation, we could not be more appreciative! ![]()
