Talk with your child about what to do when faced with a difficult decision about alcohol. Come up with a plan together to avoid drinking, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how to say “no thanks” in a safe environment. #PoePrevention

Language matters. When we use person-first language we focus on the person and not the diagnosis. By choosing supportive words we can help people feel seen, heard, and respected. 💚 #PoePrevention

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! When it comes to tobacco products, Hispanic and Latino communities face unique obstacles to receiving cessation support, including language barriers, systemic health disparities, and cultural stigmas related to health care. Respira Vida is a coalition dedicated to addressing community-specific challenges facing Hispanic/Latino individuals impacted by tobacco use and nicotine addiction. Check out their resources at truthinitiative.org/respira-vida. #PoePrevention
