Opioids have changed pain management for the better in many cases. This is a good thing. Unfortunately, they have also had a negative effect on our communities. They continue to leave a trail of fatalities, young and old, that cut across class distinctions and neighborhood locations. 

What are the stressors that young people face today? Are uses of opioids negative coping mechanisms facing our communities today? How best can we use the resources available to us to prevent and intervene in the problem of opioids?

I want to educate myself in this area for I know nothing about it. I have 5 children, ages 14, 13, 9, 7, 6 of whom 3 were adopted. My oldest who was adopted by us at age 1 has deep emotional challenges
