Drug-Free Tennessee shared 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 has taken it virtual, sharing resources on April 7th
including information about the 2021 theme: Building a fairer, healthier world
for everyone.
DFT encouraged people to celebrate by being drug-free and promoting
health and wellness for all.
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.
