WHAT'S NEW IN PREVENTION?
|
|
 |
|
Community Catalyst has developed a new resource for preventing drug and alcohol misuse by young people. The video features young people and advocates talking about the promise of SBIRT for changing lives by promoting honest conversations with trained adults, who help identify problematic alcohol and drug use early and guide follow-up counseling and treatment. The video should be used to promote prevention and early intervention for substance use disorders.

YOU DID IT! No... you did it.
No she did it. No he did it.
NO WE DID IT!
With hard work and great collaboration, DFC hosted and helped with events during National Prevention Week (May 14-May20, 2017). Our PSA competition had three great entries with the winner from Brookfield Central high school. View them all on our webpage. Businesses, churches, law enforcement agencies, and families like yours distributed "Parents Who Host Lose the Most" campaign materials. There's still more available, so contact Adele.

The evening programs were a hit. On the first night, Waukesha Co Dept of Health Services and DFC hosted a night where the audience heard the personal struggle from a local family, the dangers of heroin, and prevention of an overdose. People were trained in how to administer narcan and over 50 caring community members received kits. On the second night, ProHealth Care and DFC lined up an evening with presentations from the Metro Drug Unit, EMS, and an Emergency Nurse from ProHealth Care's ER. The week ended with an inspirational day of hope, prevention and recovery with "Jump for Archie" organized by his loving mother Laurie Bandura and SOFA.
