The School of Social Work was mentioned in the Raleigh News & Observer article, “12 arrested in Chatham County-wide drug bust, 262 felony charges filed,” for the informational brochure that a group of MSW students created to educate parents about how to protect their teens from the misuse of opioids. The brochures were distributed in schools and in other youth-serving agencies.

Clinical associate professor Sarah Verbiest was quoted in the North Carolina Health News article, “Education bright spot in the annual ranking of child well-being,” in the CNN.com article, “U.S. teen birth rate drops to all-time low,” and in the Lifehacker.com article, “How to protect your self-esteem after having a baby.”
