SAVING LIVES: LEARN ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE, RECOGNIZING SIGNS OF OVERDOSE, WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO FIND HELP

Dear Region South Family:
This workshop will equip parents with crucial knowledge and tools to
address substance use and its risks. We'll explore reasons behind
substance use, including peer pressure and mental health issues, and
provide essential information about fentanyl, a dangerous opioid. Learn
how to spot signs of overdose, how to approach sensitive conversations
with your child, and where to find the right support and resources. We’ll
also cover naloxone, a vital medication for reversing opioid overdoses,
and guide you on how to use it. Join us to be prepared and proactive in
supporting your child's well-being. See you in our Family Academy!

About Us

Harry  Bridges,  our  namesake  and  legendary  ILWU  organizer,  famously  said,  “Few of us really believed that we could win a decent wage, a little dignity and security on the job.....let alone having a college education for the kids.”    We  view  these words as the cornerstone for the development of Harry Bridges Span School. In our working class and largely Latino community of Wilmington, social justice means providing the educational foundation to make college and career readiness a reality for all students.

Our Mission

The mission of Harry Bridges Span School (Grades K-8) is to provide a world-class education for all students by ensuring a safe, nurturing, and collaborative student-centered environment that fosters student achievement, values effort, and promotes social justice.
