Opioid use prevention shouldn’t be a lecture—it should be a conversation. OPEN partners with young people to create prevention strategies that are relevant, accessible, and engaging. Explore our youth-focused initiatives, including Painless: The Opioid Musical, the OPEN Teen Education Hub, and youth-led work on pain management after surgery.
