The Ledyard Prevention Coalition in collaboration with Overdose Action Team and NLC CARES is scheduling FREE Overdose Prevention, Recovery and Wellness Programs for churches, local businesses, civic groups, and school faculty, staff, and students. This program is approximately 45 minutes long and includes a brief discussion about:

The use of opioids
Opioid addiction stigma
How to identify an overdose
How to administer Naloxone (the life saving drug to reverse an opioid overdose)

As part of the training, all participants will receive a box of Naloxone.

This program is supported by funds from the Town of Ledyard's Opioid Settlement Fund.

If you are interested in scheduling a program, please reach out to me, Kerensa Mansfield @ [email protected] or 860.448.4882 ext. 1309

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and it’s time to talk about what respect really looks like. Love should feel safe and supportive—not controlling or scary.

Knowing the signs of an abusive relationship is the first step in protecting yourself and your friends. Abuse isn’t always physical; it can be emotional, digital, or social.

Watch for these red flags:
- Privacy Violations: Checking your phone, email, or social media without permission.
- Public Belittling: Putting you down frequently, especially in front of others.
- Isolation: Pulling you away from friends or family (physically, financially, or emotionally).
- Extreme Insecurity: Constant jealousy or accusations.
- Volatile Emotions: Explosive outbursts, a "short fuse," or intense mood swings.
- Control: Possessiveness or dictating what you wear, who you see, and where you go.
- Pressure: Forcing or pressuring you into any sexual activity.
- Physical Harm: Any form of hitting, pushing, or physical violence.

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available. You are not alone.
