US: Trump Declares Opioid Abuse a Public Health Emergency. It’s a Crisis for Schools, Too

Those include supporting the children of addicted parents who’ve been placed in foster care, stocking overdose medications in school nurses offices, and rethinking drug prevention programs to address prescription medications and synthetic drugs like fentanyl.
