Jackson Parent Council February 27, 2017 Attendees: Sandra Blakely Roxanne Venier Lillian Neitzel Susan Wehrmann Diane McFaul Freeman Paul Warner Ruixue Huang Antenhe Sahelli Yodit Negusse Marjorie Snider Meeting brought to order at 6:30 pm by Lillian Student Council Report – No report Rideauwood Addiction and Family Service – Nadine McLean, Angie Wellman All Kanata schools, both in the OCDSB and OCSB, are having to deal with opioid use. There has been a rise in opioid use in the community. The Principals in all the schools (including the Catholic Board) are in continual contact. There is a Rideauwood counsellor assigned to every english speaking school in Ottawa. They are in the schools once/week. What is an Opioid? - Opioids are drugs that act on the nervous system to relieve pain when other painkillers do not work. Opioids include drugs like heroin, morphine, fentanyl, methadone and codeine. They can vary in strength and are designed to slow down the bodies functions. They are intended for short term use as continued use and abuse can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. A person’s tolerance to the drug rises quickly (a break in use will decrease a person’s tolerance, which can be dangerous as the person will go back to taking the amount they left off at and this can result in an overdose). Fentanyl is usually prescribed in a patch form as a painkiller. It is man-made and around 30 to 50 times more powerful than heroine 50 to 100 times more toxic than morphine. This makes the risk of accidental overdose much higher.
