About the Related Exhibit
Medication mail-in resources are available at NOLS year-round, and are being highlighted during the National Library of Medicine's traveling exhibit, "Care & Custody: Past Reponses to Mental Health," displayed March 10-29 at the Port Angles Main Library, and April 2-18 at Peninsula College at Forks.
If you've ever been prescribed medication for a mental wellness condition or neurodiversity, you probably know that it can take some time to trial different medications at different dosages, leaving you with a collection of "failed" medications. Keeping unneeded medications around the house can pose a danger to others in the home through accidental exposure.
