We're stopping the problems, the risks, before they happen.
Ever wondered how communities can come together to fight the opioid crisis before it even starts? In this episode of 'Battling Opioids', reporter Anne Danahy shines a light on Prosper, a remarkable initiative focused on prevention. Prosper’s approach isn't about scare tactics; it's about building resilience and promoting healthy goals through the Strengthening Families program. By bringing together schools, families, and Penn State Cooperative Extension agents, Prosper creates a supportive environment where children and parents can thrive.
The program offers in-school and after-school activities designed to teach valuable communication skills and ways to handle peer pressure. One touching story features Connor Durkin, a young boy who lost his mother to cancer and found a lifeline in the Prosper team. Middle school counselor Andrea Murray shares how the program helps create stronger family bonds and steers students away from drugs and alcohol. If you're curious about how prevention can make a real difference, this episode is a must-listen.
