New Statistics Show Rising Concerns from Parents Around Opioid Epidemic

Dr. Bonnie Milas, professor of Clinical Anesthesiology & Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, has a uniquely personal stake in the battle against the opioid epidemic. After tragically losing two sons to accidental opioid overdoses, she is now on a mission to rally parents and others to be ready to rescue in case of an opioid emergency.

Opioid overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, and many people do not realize opioid overdoses can happen anywhere and at any time, most commonly in our own homes. Naloxone is a medication designed to reverse the effects of a life-threatening opioid emergency and can be used to revive someone during an overdose while waiting for emergency personnel to arrive.

Younger generations are particularly at risk for opioid overdose as fentanyl poisonings continue to be on the rise. In 2022, 22 high school age adolescents died each week from overdoses driven by fentanyl-laced prescription pills.

According to a new survey, nearly 9 in 10 parents believe that normalizing the topic of opioid overdose and reversal treatments like naloxone could help save lives, and that a more robust national conversation could be part of the solution.

In addition, 90 percent of survey respondents agree that schools, public libraries, dorms and professionals who work with teenagers and college kids should have access to naloxone. Increased naloxone access could already be making a big impact, as the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recently announced provisional data on drug overdose deaths in 2023, finding there was a 3 percent decrease in deaths compared to 2022.

As back to school quickly approaches, Dr. Milas will be available on July 18 to discuss the “Ready to Rescue” campaign, which aims to raise awareness about opioid risks and educate the public, including parents, on how to be prepared with naloxone to help save a life in an opioid overdose emergency. She will also discuss how her personal experience has fueled her passion for calling attention to the dangers of opioid use in addition to:

The importance of breaking the stigma associated with opioid overdose, because accidents happen

How to talk about opioids and overdose with children, and why parents should always be prepared, especially parents of children going to college

The signs of an opioid emergency and how everyone has the power to save a life.

CAN YOU TELL US WHY THIS IS SUCH A PERSONAL MISSION FOR YOU?

WHAT IS “READY TO RESCUE” ALL ABOUT?

WHAT ARE SIGNS OF OPIOID EMERGENCY AND THE BEST ACTIONS TO TAKE?

IS THERE A STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH OPIOID OVERDOSE AND WHY?

HOW DO YOU BELIEVE PARENTS CAN HELP WITH THIS ISSUE… AND WHERE CAN THE AUDIENCE FIND MORE INFORMATION?

Most Bible stories aimed at children are for reading TO children; not ones that kids can read to themselves. But now a new book, uses Bible stories FOR kids to read themselves.

Not only does it promote early reading literacy among young children but offers some great life lessons.

“Bible Stories for Beginning Readers,” leads little ones through stories in a way they can understand. It’s a book kids can call their own and read independently with minimal instruction.

Literacy plays a crucial role in shaping physical and mental health so at an early age can help a child’s overall development that extends beyond the realm of elementary education lessons. It’s been noted that having children read at an early age even helps to achieve higher educational outcomes and sets them up for success in adulthood.

The book’s author – Janice Burnette is a former reading specialist who has taught beginning and struggling readers throughout her career.

Janice is available for interviews to discuss:

Why it’s so important to teach children early on to read.
How literacy can improve a child’s success later in life.
More about why and how she decided to write this book.

A close friend of Good News Donna Tsfora introduced us to Catherine Ta, from Canada who is inspiring people around the world to help cheer on the Olympians because there isn’t an audience this year?

Catherine created a group called the Olympic Cheer Challenge where I challenge other people to see if they could come up with something to cheer on their team or to just see how they as athletes celebrate their own wins.

Description:

With the holidays upon us once again, many of us are looking forward to enjoying meals together. But for far too many, just being able to get that food on the table can be a challenge.

With hunger intensifying across the country, America’s dairy farmers are working tirelessly to provide food for our families. But, their efforts don’t end there.

Through a new online series hosted by national country music radio host Amy Brown, dairy farmers are sharing their personal stories and recipes to help fight hunger. Amy joins us today from her home studio in Nashville, Tennessee to discuss the series and how you can help feed a family!

Program is Donating Meals to Feeding America for Each Comment or Share of “Where Goodness Grows” Episodes.

Dairy farmers have been working tirelessly to provide food for our homes, schools and restaurants throughout the pandemic. Now, by sharing their stories in a seven-episode digital series hosted by national country music DJ Amy Brown, their goodness is extending even further to help to fight hunger in the U.S.

In the series “Where Goodness Grows,” Brown (co-host of iHeartRadio’s The Bobby Bones Show) speaks with Land O’Lakes farmer-owners, sharing their inspiring stories and trying some of their home-crafted recipes. It’s an upbeat celebration of the work they do and the lives they lead on and off the dairy farm.

As part of its ongoing commitment to ending hunger in the U.S., Land O’Lakes is donating one pound of macaroni and cheese for a guaranteed maximum donation of 100,000 pounds of macaroni and cheese (equivalent to 83,000 meals) to Feeding America for every comment on or share of the series’ episodes.

Amy will be available for an interview to highlight the new video series and explain how viewers can help feed America simply by engaging. She will discuss:

·         How Land O’Lakes is helping to feed America and how viewers can help those efforts with              each episode they watch

·         The unique inspiration that comes from dairy farmer-owners who have personified                            positivity and resilience throughout the pandemic

·         Details of the ‘Where Goodness Grows’ digital series and why she wanted to be involved

·         Most surprising things she’s learned about dairy farmers through hosting the series

·         Her favorite family recipes provided by the farmer-owners themselves

·         Where people can watch.
