Information for Parents
Your child experienced Generation Rx today as part of the Gatton College of Pharmacy outreach to the communities of Appalachia to educate about prescription drug abuse. We hope that each child will join us and become agents of change to help fight the epidemic of prescription drug abuse that plauges our region. We provided hotlines numbers that can be accessed to get help for prescription drug abuse or addiction. These numbers include:
–National Youth Crisis Hotline 1-800- 448-4663
–Alcohol and Drug Abuse Helpline and Treatment 1-800-234-0420
Dr. Sarah Melton - Generation Rx Faculty Advisor 1-276-971-6097
The presentation your children experienced today included a personal testimony from a student at Gatton, a skit that showed a "real-life" dilemma often seen in high schools, and an educational program about prescription drug abuse. The program can be seen below by clicking on the file name.
We encourage you to talk about this program with your child and join us in fighting the devastating consequences of prescription drug abuse. If your organization, church or community group would like us to bring Generation Rx to you, please complete the link on the "Request a Presentation" on the home page. Thank you very much!
