The point of talking to your kids just can't be overemphasized, because studies have revealed, for those that talk to the kids, their kids are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.
Imagine living in a town called Denial, Ohio. It sounds fictional, but for many parents in Ohio, it's a reality. In this episode of Cover 2 Resources, Greg Mcneil chats with Chad Jester, President of the Nationwide Insurance Foundation, about a public awareness campaign that aims to shake parents out of their 'not-my-kid' mindset. Despite Ohio having one of the highest opioid overdose death rates in the nation, many parents still underestimate the risk opioids pose to their families.
This episode dives into how the Ohio Opioid Education Alliance's campaign is working to change that. By creating the imaginary town of Denial, Ohio, the campaign brings to life the dangers of ignoring opioid risks and encourages parents to have honest conversations with their children about prescription meds, illicit drugs, alcohol abuse, and tobacco. Chad shares the success stories and future plans for spreading this vital message across Ohio.
If you're looking to understand how grassroots efforts and community engagement can make a difference in combating the opioid crisis, this episode is a must-listen.
