Students Taking Exams

FOR TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS

We know many of you are stressed and depressed. You aren't alone! 

In Connecticut, 47% of young adults (18 -25) and 31% of high school students reported feeling sad or hopeless almost every day for two or more weeks in 2019. 

But, misusing prescription drugs won't help!

It's harmful to your body and brain, and can be deadly if you come across a counterfeit pill.
