3 www.rnca.ca Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association Thank you to the residents and businesses of Newfoundland and Labrador for supporting our 27th Annual Community Guide! Your support each year allows us to continue to bring important public safety awareness to the people of our province. In this year’s guide, we highlight the dangers of Prescription Drug Abuse. The abuse of prescription drugs in our community affects us all and we must work together to address these challenges. Discussing the misuse of prescription drugs and how you can prevent problematic prescription drug use (p.15) is important. We have included resources that are available if you or a loved one need help (p.65, 75 - 81 and 112). No one should have to suffer alone. The RNC Association, through monies raised by the publication of this guide, assists many organizations and community groups within our province. We are pleased this year to support Mental Health and Addictions Newfoundland and Labrador through our assistance to four of the health service providers across the province. These providers work to address the challenges of addiction in our province and are a source of support for many. We hope that you will use this Community Guide as a resource to start a conversation with your loved ones. Awareness and understanding of prescription drug abuse may help to save someone’s life. Thank you for your support! Sincerely, Mike Summers President RNC Association “Supporting our Community…Strengthening our Commitment” PRESIDENT’S m e s s a g e
