Drug-Free
Tennessee is planning a virtual awareness campaign for World Health Day this
April 2021.
In past years, Drug-Free Tennessee (DFT) has focused a World Health
Day event around different topics with one standing out above others: Shape Up
and Be Happy. This has long been the group’s campaign for the Day with
organizations participating to help residents get into a healthy mindset each
April.
DFT works closely with the Church of Scientology Nashville to host
these events each year. The 2020 event was naturally canceled due to COVID-19,
and for 2021, the group plans to take it virtual, sharing resources all day on
April 7th.
Drug-Free Tennessee provides education on the truth about drugs,
which is of course its mission, and ties right into healthy living. Spokesperson
for the group, Julie Brinker said, “You can’t have overall health and wellness
with harmful street drugs in your system, and Drug-Free Tennessee is working
hard to spread that message around the state.” Other educational initiatives
for a healthy lifestyle will be shared virtually as well, including tips for
eating and exercising.
This
is the sixth year Drug-Free Tennessee (DFT) has worked with the community to
celebrate World Health Day. DFT is a chapter of the Foundation for a
Drug-Free World (FDFW), which has as its mission to educate people about the
dangerous effects of drugs so they understand and can make informed choices on
the subject. The Tennessee chapter provides educational materials free of
charge to anyone working on drug prevention, and observes World Health Day as a
vital point of awareness on the hazards of illegal and dangerous drugs.
