Forum on Dangers of Heroin to be held at Parkway Central High

Parkway co-sponsoring a forum on dangers of heroin.

The district is teaming up with the St. Louis County Police Department and other community organizations for the  town hall meeting.

The St. Louis area is currently experiencing a dangerous epidemic of heroin and prescription painkiller use by teens, with over two hundred overdose deaths last year. This forum is intended to provide useful information to the community to proactively confront this situation.

The meeting is open to parents, professionals, educators and students. Speakers will be on hand from the St. Louis County Police Department, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse-St. Louis Area, and the St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund.
