2019 saw the expansion of Drug-Free
Tennessee, carrying out the work of the international organization, the
Foundation for a Drug-Free World, in the Southeast United States.
To start off the
year, Drug-Free Tennessee (DFT) participated in events to
distribute the Truth About Drugs booklets. The group held special events for World Health Day
in April and International Day Against Drug Abuse in June. World Health Day saw
many health related organizations join together in the Church of Scientology
community hall to network, learn and discuss ways to improve Nashville’s health
for all. A keynote speaker from the Department of Mental Health & Substance
Abuse Services spoke about ways the community can come together to make a
difference.
For International Day Against Drug Abuse, DFT called together several leaders
for “How to Keep Our Youth Off Drugs” — a breakfast forum. Volunteers also
traveled to Pigeon Forge, Tenn., for the National Association of School
Resource Officers Convention to help provide tools to school resource officers,
so they can in turn educate students
they interact with on the dangerous effects of drugs.
Next, DFT volunteers
participated at National Night Out Against Crime, getting the booklets out to
everyone who attended the Night Out celebration for
the 11th year in a row.
October is a busy month for the drug prevention group with the final
week “Red Ribbon Week,” being a nationally recognized time for drug prevention
and education. DFT worked with groups to distribute Truth About Drugs booklets
and held an event called “Learn Your Vitals” which offered free information
along with health screenings, generously provided by nursing staff from Metro General
Hospital.
Julie Brinker, Drug-Free
Tennessee spokesperson, said, “We have had a good
year, but drugs are still a problem in this state. We have big plans for 2020 and
are ready to help anyone in the state who is trying to address this issue.”
