A national education effort to prevent the
spread of opioid addiction

The New Mexico Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness will educate young people, educators and other adults about the growing opioid epidemic and encourage healthy decision-making. An essential ingredient to a solution is stopping the spread of addiction through a message of abstaining from experimentation – if less young people are experimenting with these highly addictive drugs, less will fall victim to this often-fatal disease of addiction. The program seeks to educate students, teachers, and parents about the dangers, warning signs, and effects of opioid abuse, and also connect them with resources to deal with opioid abuse. Most of all, the program aims to recognize and promote healthy choices and demonstrate the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Please note, the Summit is a youth based event. School or youth organizations are welcome
to register free of charge with the appropriate number of teachers, counselors and/or
chaperones as mandated by the school district or youth organization.
