Drug Prevention and Awareness

The Red Ribbon Campaign® is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching millions of young people each year. Red Ribbon Week®, October 23rd - October 31st, is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. Drugs are becoming increasingly more prevalent in our communities. It is important that teens and parents know about both illicit drugs and the misuse of prescription medications: what they are, where they are found, and the symptoms of drug use so that they can be empowered to get help or encourage their loved ones or friends to seek help. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October 23rd - 31st.
