Provides An Article To Help Educate Parents How Drugs Are Accessed Through Social Media.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker turns his attention to helping parents get smart about how social media is used to communicate about and sell drugs to the young and vulnerable.

ROCKVILLE, MD. March 11, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “Parents Must Get Social-Media Smart To Help Teens Avoid Drugs.” Dr. Rosa posts an article he considers important for parents informing about the role social media plays in drug communications and sales.

“Let’s face it,” Dr. Rosa states, “as parents we are never going to outsmart teenagers when it comes to social media.” He continues, “They’ve come into the world pre-programmed to navigate the digital world. However, when it comes to teens and drug use, it’s important for parents to know that social media often plays a huge role in introducing kids to drugs.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “I came across an article recently that I think every parent should read in order to understand how social media promotes drug use and how to protect the children from getting ensnared.” He adds, “I am reposting most of the article, but there is a section I suggest you go to the site to see. It includes popular emojis used when communicating about specific drugs and those who deal them.”

Dr. Rosa emphasizes, “We must do everything we can to help our kids avoid drug use and addiction. We can only do that if we know how they are communicating on social media.”

Dr. Rosa encourages parents to “Check out a few popular emojis people use when communicating about drugs via text at the very end of the article by clicking here: https://www.getsmartaboutdrugs.gov/family/drug-use-internet-social-media”
