Prevention: Sharing the Harvest of Substance-Free Living

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action. Meister Eckhart

This sure sounds more pleasing than "strategic planning", but it is a gentle reminder that no effective person, project, campaign, or activity garners much success without examination, deliberation, and collaboration. It takes caring adults to resonate proactive prevention messages and behaviors to our youth. When these are consistent, persistent, and authentic, all of us reap the harvest of addiction-free lives.

October is National Prevention Month!

Once again, October has been designated as National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. This is a time for parents, youth, schools, and community leaders across the country to join together in a month-long observance of the role that substance abuse prevention plays in promoting safe and healthy communities.

In Missouri, we are celebrating with various webinars, and the 2015 Red Ribbon Week! Share with us how your community celebrated this year.
