    MATFORCE: Working Together to Reduce Substance AbuseYavapai 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.

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.

    Learn how youth are accessing drugs from places we thought were safe and what you can do to protect them.
