The tools you need to get the job done

Locks Save Lives Toolkit

The Locks Save Lives toolkit is free to download for implementation in your community. The toolkit is designed as a platform for prevention coalitions and community organizations to use in their communities to educate and encourage parents, grandparents and guardians with youth in grades 6-12 in the home to lock-up their prescription medications to reduce youth access to prescription opioids.

The toolkit includes a collection of high-quality rack cards, lock box cards, pledge to lock your meds cards, posters, stickers, theater ads, social media posts with images and this website; where visitors can learn more about the importance of locking up and properly disposing medications, take the pledge to lock their meds and download a free campaign toolkit to share resources and implement the campaign in their communities. Campaign materials are localized for use in Washington State as well as nationwide and are available in Spanish and English.
