Young Athletes Program-TOP Toolkit-Tackling Opioids through Prevention for Athletes
Young athletes are more susceptible to sport-related injuries. As a result of some of these injuries, the athlete may have an appointment for surgery, physical therapy or other medical related visits.

By sharing our toolkit and the presentation of resources with Coaches, Teachers, Counselors, Families, Medical Staff and most importantly the young athletes we can discuss the risks of Opioid use, Opioid dependence and other alternatives to using pain medications
