The Truth About Drugs program provides teachers, law enforcement and
community groups with effective drug education materials.
Drug-Free South (DFS) is the Tennessee Chapter of the Foundation for a
Drug-Free World, and will be having an Open House on April 7th for
World Health Day.
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides the Truth About Drugs
booklets, the “They Said, They Lied” public service announcements, and the
100-minute documentary, The Truth About Drugs: Real People, Real Stories which
all work together to provide students the facts on drugs. DFS helps kids
understand the truth about drugs, so they don’t get caught off-guard when a
dealer is trying to talk them into doing something they will always regret.
According to the World Health Organization which sponsors World Health
Day, “[the day] is celebrated on 7 April every year to mark the anniversary of
the founding of WHO [World Health Organization] in 1948. Each year a theme is
selected that highlights a priority area of public health. The Day provides an
opportunity for individuals in every community to get involved in activities
that can lead to better health.”
Drug-Free South is celebrating by showcasing its materials for educators
in a forum where they are free to ask questions and gain an insight into the
program and its curriculum. Guest
participants at the open house will include Cornelius Carroll who co-founded
the program Saving Our Youth, and has personal experience visiting schools to
help students make good choices.
