The Prevention Department has started running focus groups to learn what our community needs. In September of 2024, our first focus group was successful with participants from various downriver schools discussing their concerns as students.



If you would like to participate in a focus group, each participate will receive a gift card for their time, and food will be provided.

Never Drive Impaired

Nearly third of deadly car wrecks in America involve alcohol. In 2020, 26 million people drove under the influence.

Tips for driving safe this season:

1) Take your time

2) Avoid distractions

3) Extra care on icy roads

4) Never drink and drive

Parents/Guardians/Caregivers:

-Talk with your teen about the dangers of underage drinking and substance use, especially while driving.

Check out SAMHSA's "Talk, they hear you" campaign for ideas on how to have this conversation.
