LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The growing opioid crisis has amplified the need for new messaging approaches that effectively equip communities with the information and tools they need to prevent opioid use and reduce harm. As public health communicators, how can we equip both teens and adult role models and caregivers with the resources they need to respond to the opioid crisis? How can we create effective messaging strategies when there are so many problems to solve?
Join our complimentary webinar to learn how to create effective, evidence-based campaigns that prevent initiation of use and reduce harm for those currently experimenting with opioids. Learn how to create compassionate, non-stigmatizing messaging that fosters a better understanding of the risks associated with drug use and encourages individuals to seek help when needed.

- Explore how to reduce the stigma around opioid use to create a more supportive and educated community.
- Discover effective techniques for crafting compassionate, impactful messaging aimed at both youth/young adults and their role models to prevent opioid use and accidental overdoses.
