Community Outreach
Connecting with parents, students, and our community by participating in outreach opportunities
Teen Takeover
At various town-sponsored teen events, we deliver a learning experience to educate on the dangers of driving impaired, giving students strategies to prevent impaired driving and promotes sober driving.
Back to School Bash
We are passionate participants in this annual event put on by the Town of Fountain Hills. We set up a “Drunk Goggle” game and handed out swag bags with valuable parent resources on topics like vaping, dealing with stress, and making good choices. We also raffle off several gift cards to local restaurants as a way to draw the community in to learn about our important mission.
Fountain Hills Cares
This is an ongoing series offered by the Town of Fountain Hills. We have provided speakers for this series and also hand out information on how to dispose of unwanted prescription drugs, resource guides and booklets regarding substance abuse prevention.
Prescription Drug Take Back
Twice a year, local law enforcement and the DEA team up to collect and dispose of prescription drugs to prevent abuse. We provide volunteers to assist at the table. There is also a green deposit box inside Town Hall next to the Sheriff’s Office entry for people to leave prescription drugs at any time the building is open.
Protect Our Game
This initiative is dedicated to preventing underage substance misuse by sharing the latest scientific insights with athletes, coaches, and parents within our schools and community sports leagues. The “Protect Our Game” campaign highlights how substances like alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine affect athletes and their performance. Student athletes are at a higher risk given potential need for medications for injuries and pain. In partnership with substance-free-athletics.org
Community Events
We participate in various expos at the Fountain Hills Community Center and events around town to connect with professionals and parents, seek volunteers for future opportunities, and distribute substance abuse prevention materials.
