The Dartmouth Youth Commission, Dartmouth Public Schools, and Bishop Stang High School will host a presentation on the dangers of sports injuries and the use of prescription pain medication at the Dartmouth High auditorium on April 10, 6:30 p.m.

The event, hosted by Cory Palazzi and his parents, will include an overview of Cory’s struggle with substance abuse after being prescribed an opioid medication following a sports injury in high school.

After the presentation, a mock teen bedroom will be set up to educate those attending about what to look for that may indicate substances are impacting someone you care about.

All are welcome to attend, including middle and high school students, college students, single adults, parents, or anyone who wants to learn about opioid abuse and how it is impacting the community.

For more information, contact Youth Advocate Jennifer Cabral at (508) 951-9551.
