Expert insights on preventing substance abuse
Manage episode 432954336 series 3419350
Not only is the United States battling its deadliest drug epidemic in history, but an increasing number of Americans are also struggling with substance use disorder. According to survey data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 49 million people in the US aged 12 and older – more than one in six – have a substance use disorder.
How can we turn the tide on this growing crisis? Today's guest, Rodney Wambeam, is a senior research scientist at the Wyoming Survey and Analysis Center. He has also served as a health and human services advisor to the governor of Nebraska and has devoted much of his life to figuring out how to prevent substance use and abuse.
In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Wambeam shares crucial advice on preventing substance misuse and addiction. His insights are especially vital for parents, grandparents and teachers navigating the challenges of the opioid epidemic, offering hope and practical strategies to protect their families and communities.
The Emily’s Hope Substance Use Prevention Curriculum has been carefully designed to address growing concerns surrounding substance use and overdose in our communities. Our curriculum focuses on age-appropriate and evidence-based content that educates children about the risks of substance use while empowering them to make healthy choices.
