Drug-Free South Encourages All to Participate in National Drug Facts Week

The Truth About Drugs program provides teachers, law enforcement and community groups with effective drug education materials.

Drug-Free South (DFS) is reaching out and encouraging all to participate in National Drug Facts Week, which will take place Jan 26^th - Feb 1^st. Drug-Free South is the Tennessee Chapter of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, which 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. 

The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services just issued a press release on January 13^th which describes the week as “…an opportunity for teenagers to promote and participate in activities to shatter the myths about drugs and drug abuse.”

Drug-Free South (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. That is why volunteers for the group are making themselves available anytime during National Drug Facts week to visit schools and share information on the Truth About Drugs.

Drug-Free South is dedicated to handling the drug problem in Tennessee, and wants to encourage all educators to visit drugfreesouth.org to schedule a drug education seminar in their school. Parents and teachers can order Truth About Drugs booklets and DVDs free of charge from the website or download the free Truth About Drugs Education Application onto their iPads or iPhones.
