You don’t need to be a medical professional to save a life. Anyone can perform CPR. Even you.
Just know two simple steps. If a teen or adult collapses, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

Yup. Kratom is a big deal.
It’s easy to find in nearly every gas station, often marketed as “natural” or a wellness product. Regular use can lead to tolerance, dependence and withdrawal. More serious health effects can include seizures, liver damage, dangerous breathing overdose and death.
If you’re worried about your own use or someone you care about, support is available right here in our community.
📞 Call 877-HOPE-365 to find local resources

Know the risks. Talk about it. Ask for help when you need it.

Drug supply alert: Cychlorphine (sye-KLOR-feen)
Cychlorphine is an emerging synthetic opioid showing up in the U.S. drug supply. It’s highly potent, has been found in co***ne, methamphetamine and counterfeit pills, and fentanyl test strips do not detect it.
The drug supply is unpredictable. Reduce your risk: carry naloxone, don’t use alone, start with less and go slow. If you suspect an overdose, call 911 and give naloxone—more than one dose may be needed.
Need naloxone or other harm reduction supplies in Columbia or Greene County? Visit c-gac.org/overdose-prevention.
Worried about yourself or someone you love? Call 877-HOPE-365, 9 AM–9 PM, 7 days a week, for local, nonjudgmental support and connections to resources.
Please share—with people who use drugs and the people who care about them AND talk to your teens about the dangers of fake pills.
