Description: Prescription medications can help us live longer and healthier lives, but any medication has the potential to do harm—especially when misused. In fact, the misuse of prescription medications has become a serious public health epidemic. Millions of Americans misuse prescription medications each month, and thousands do so for the first time every day. This misuse leads to serious legal, social, and health consequences, with drug overdoses now representing the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. The good news is that we can prevent prescription drug misuse by advocating for safe medication practices in our homes and in communities.

The purpose of this program is to help prevent the misuse of prescription medications by educating adults on safe medication practices, which include:
1. Only using prescription medications as directed by a health professional.
2. Never sharing prescription medications with others or taking someone else’s medication.
3. Keeping medications safe. Always storing medications securely to prevent others from taking them, and properly disposing of medications that are no longer needed.
4. Being a good example by modeling these safe medication practices and discussing the dangers of misusing prescription drugs with others.

**This qualifies for Group Credit through HHS (like in-person classes)
