Grantee Spotlight: PFS at the Idaho Youth Summit
|
The Idaho Youth Summit (IYS) is a
4-day retreat-style, leadership conference specifically built for youth 7
th
through 12
th
grades. It
has been hosted by
Idaho Drug Free Youth
for the past 26 years.
The Idaho Drug Free Youth mission statement;
Empowering Youth To Live Happy and Healthy Lives
and core values
; Empowerment, Fun, Knowledge, and Support
are the foundation for this conference.
"Idaho Youth Summit is a platform where negative norms that undermine a child's sense of safety is replaced with the positive norms that help instill a sense of autonomy, belonging, and hope for the future," says Idaho Drug Free Youth Executive Director, Karen Ashenbrenner.
Amy Hirtle, Project Coordinator for the Partnerships for Success Grant at Panhandle Health District served as a chaperone at IYS from June 18-21, 2019 in Coeur d'Alene.
IYS is comprised of various educational components that provide multiple opportunities for youth to learn, strengthen and practice newly acquired leadership skills, build peer relationship skills, strengthen communication skills, while establishing a sense of belonging; providing ongoing long term support of healthy choices.
According to Amy, "Attending Idaho Youth Summit as a chaperone gave me the opportunity to meet some wonderful youth from around the state, and to see the impactful prevention activities provided. The activities helped youth learn more about themselves, and how they can positively influence other to remain substance free."
This was Amy's first year attending and she said she enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm. Highlights included watching her group develop a positive social media post on living life drug free, and working together on the challenge course—a course filled with a variety of obstacles and games.
Great work, Amy!

We are excited to announce our new logo!
We feel it better embodies the intersection of policy, partnership, and prevention where ODP serves. Look for it on our communications channels, signature blocks, and new outreach materials.
If you have used the ODP logo on materials or need it in the future, contact us for the new file!
We have also slightly tweaked our Mission and Vision language. You can read those

Order Prescription Opioid Misuse Prevention Materials
|
In the May newsletter, we told you about Speak Out. Opt Out. Throw Out. the prescription opioid misuse prevention campaign adapted from Utah and implemented in five Idaho hospitals.
The campaign was designed to prevent and reduce the misuse of prescription pain medications by encouraging patients to ask their doctor questions about their opioid prescriptions and alternatives to opioids, as well as encouraging safe disposal.
We also said we would make print materials available for order through our website for other organizations in Idaho. Well, that time is now and we've added a few original materials thanks to the Idaho Opioid Misuse and Overdose Workgroup. Print collateral including poster, table tents, handout cards, brochures, and rack cards can be ordered at the link below:
