Substance abuse awareness



MILWAUKEE -- Nzinga Khalid from Milwaukee County Health & Human Services stopped by the Real Milwaukee studios on Monday, Jan. 21 to discuss substance abuse awareness and prevention in Milwaukee County. "Shine A Light on Addiction Week" is Jan. 22 through Jan. 27, and Khalid was sporting red during her appearance to highlight HHS's "Light and Unite Red" campaign.

"We are all about shattering the myths, and getting the facts in the hands of parents and teens," said Khalid. Khalid and the Real Milwaukee hosts participate in a substance abuse quiz -- and the answers may surprise you.
