Yavapai County AZ (August 5, 2021) – MATFORCE, a primary prevention organization that focuses on stopping youth drug use before it starts, has partnered with the Arizona National Guard CounterDrug Task Force to educate parents, guardians, caregivers, and concerned community members on a deadly new trend with teens.
Your child’s phone has a deadly connection. Counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl are bought and sold on social media sites popular with teens. According to the latest research, more and more youth are getting drugs from social media apps, like Snapchat and Instagram. And the drugs are being delivered right to their front door.
Thursday, August 19, 2021, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, experts from the Arizona National Guard CounterDrug Task Force will discuss what parents and caregivers can do to help protect the children in their care.
The Newest Drug Dealing Trend
- Learn what draws youth to these sites and how they communicate on them.
- Discover tips on how to spot the dangerous users on these apps and what the risks are for our youth.
- Hear ways to talk to the youth in your care about Internet safety and the dangers of substance use.
