MOPIP to Educate Students on Polysubstance Use Risks
Truman’s Missouri Partners in Prevention Coalition will host poly-use information tables from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. March 30-31 in the Student Union Building.
When two or more drugs are taken together, either intentionally or unintentionally, this is called polysubstance use. When drugs are combined, their effects become unpredictable, often masking or modifying each other. This can trick people into thinking the substances are not working, making it easier to overdose.
Phi Epsilon Kappa, the Student Public Health Association and the Health Center and Counseling Services have partnered to raise awareness and teach others the warning signs of polysubstance use, aiming to bring this issue to the forefront of everyone's mind. Students can stop by their tables for additional information, resources and learn about local support options.
