This is the story of Jacqueline. After losing her son, Adam, to a heroin overdose, Jacqueline dedicated herself to helping other families struggling with substance use by volunteering as a Parent Coach with Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.

Nearly half of Americans have a friend or family member who has been addicted to drugs. Many of us keep all kinds of unneeded medications in our unlocked medicine cabinets. But these highly addictive medications are at high risk of being misused by friends and family members. Safely disposing of unneeded medications is a simple, concrete step that everyone can take to keep friends and loved ones safe. That’s why twice a year, in April and October, Google partners with the DEA to promote National Prescription Drug Take Back Day and make it easier for everyone to find a convenient drug collection site near them.
