Support

Parental Involvement: Actively engage parents in opioid education by providing culturally and linguistically appropriate resources that empower them to support their children at home. Host workshops and informational sessions that address racial and cultural factors influencing opioid use and prevention.
Safe Spaces: Establish culturally inclusive safe spaces within schools where students feel secure discussing their concerns. Incorporate trained staff who understand and respect students’ racial, cultural, and social identities to ensure a judgment-free, supportive environment.
Collaborative Efforts: Strengthen collaboration between schools, healthcare providers, community organizations, and cultural leaders to develop a comprehensive and culturally responsive support network. Focus on building trust within diverse communities to encourage participation and effective engagement.
