Wake Up Call
Tue., Jan. 22, 7-8:30 PM at Geneva Community High School Auditorium (416 McKinley Ave., Geneva)
Details: 7-8:30 PM Wake Up Call presentation, 8:30 PM Resource Fair
Wake-Up Call is a life-size exhibit of a teen’s bedroom with more than 20 “red flags” that can signal drug or alcohol use. The bedroom identifies spots where teens may hide drugs, household items that can be used as drug paraphernalia and ways teens try to cover up drug and alcohol use. Participants will learn the signs and symptoms associated with substance use as well as current drug trends and receive a guided tour of the bedroom along with a description of items used to conceal substance use. They will learn parenting strategies to help prevent substance use, receive a comprehensive resource handbook, and have an opportunity to go through the bedroom and ask questions.
This presentation is for adults only (21 years of age & over).
