UP, UP, and AWAY - Franklin County’s Campaign to Prevent Deadly Drug Exposures in Toddlers
Young children don’t understand the dangers drugs and medications can pose. That’s why prevention starts with the adults who care for them.
In this Fresh Takes on Prevention webinar, Franklin County Children Services will share how it is working with community partners to help protect infants and young children from accidental exposure to fentanyl, prescription medications, cannabis products, and other substances.
Participants will learn about “Lock it UP, Clean it UP, and Put it AWAY,” a community education campaign that moves beyond traditional anti-drug messaging to focus on practical, harm-reduction strategies families can use to create safer environments for children.
The webinar will also explore Plans of Safe Care, an approach that brings families and healthcare providers together to support expectant and new mothers when there are concerns about prenatal substance use or exposure. The goal is to connect families with the support they need while helping keep parents and babies healthy, safe, and together.
Together, these efforts offer a look at how prevention, harm reduction, healthcare, and child safety can work together to protect some of our youngest and most vulnerable community members.
