“We tend to focus on the opioid crisis and the end results but we want to get ahead of that. We want to talk to the youth on prevention and educate the youth on what’s out there before they get caught up in that cycle,” said Drug Free St. Lucie coordinator Kristy Conway.

Several other drug and alcohol-free organizations on the Treasure Coast were also at today’s event.
