S.A.F.E (Stop Addiction for Everyone) Lebo task force is a coalition of Pittsburgh-area organizations dedicated to educating people in Mt. Lebanon and nearby communities about the dangers of prescription drug abuse; sharing resources for help, and providing a year-round opportunity to safely dispose of un-used or expired prescription medications.
In early 2013, Mt. Lebanon Commissioner Kelly Fraasch and Mt. Lebanon School Director Josephine Posti organized the first meeting of what would become the S.A.F.E (Stop Addiction for Everyone) Lebo task force. Over the past year, six Mt Lebanon residents ranging in age from 20 to 50 had died of opiod overdoses, prompting an urgency to raise community awareness of a national problem that was hitting home. The group of professionals that convened expressed specific concern about the increasing abuse of prescription medication—often the gateway to heroin addiction—by teenagers and adults.
Please take advantage of the 24-hour, free unused and expired medication drop-off sponsored by PA American Water at the Mt. Lebanon Public Safety Center, 555 Washington Road.

What specific steps are being taken to remove drugs from Mt Lebanon High School?
ReplyDeleteDo the police take the dog for a walk through the halls? How about in the faculty lounge?
Has anyone ever heard (or seen) gambling in the faculty lounges?
Would gambling be an addiction that these ladies will address?
I'm waiting 'til the police dogs sniff the teachers cars like they sniff the students cars. I bet these two don't have the guts to suggest that idea - not with kids in the Mt. Lebanon schools.
ReplyDeleteAny effort to cut drug addiction should be applauded, but this photo strikes me as what strange bedfellows those two are.
ReplyDeleteYou CAN'T touch teachers... They are special! Watch your comments OR they will demand 40-50% pay increase WITH a Free BMW every other year!
ReplyDelete5:16 teachers stepped up to Lexus a long time ago but they don't like to park their cars in front of a school when they are caring picket signs.
