• Tell them how much energy, joy, and resilience these kids have.

• Tell them how opioids create neurological differences that cause developmental delays, and emotional and mental health challenges for these children.

• Tell them that these children deserve access to early intervention services and informed care.

• Tell them that with their help, and a few supports, these children can thrive throughout childhood and as adults.
