National Prevention Week
National Prevention Week is an annual health observance dedicated to increasing public awareness of substance use and mental health disorders. Our Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) members create projects for National Prevention Week that promote awareness around preventing underage drinking and alcohol misuse and preventing prescription and opioid drug misuse.
On May 7nd, Community Prevention Resources and Eldorado Middle School Youth Advisory Committee kicked off “THE SCOOP” for National Prevention Week during their annual PBIS day. During the event for National Prevention Week students played games like “Cup Stack” and The Scoop Board Game to promote positive choices and win prizes.
