On May 2nd, 2025, five Española high school students, all participants in The NNMC Upward Bound Program, joined host Joseph Dunham in a round table discussion on drugs in our community. During this podcast, the students gave personal insights into how the opioid epidemic has affected their lives in school, in their families, in their neighborhoods, and in their town.  Their firsthand observations generate some practical solutions to preventing addiction, that everyone in our community can learn from, and act on.
