2019-04-03 22:00 - 2019-04-04 00:00 UTC | Franklin Learning Center 2397 Loop Road, Chambersburg PA 17202
"Drugs 101: What Parents Need to Know " is a drug prevention program that seeks to educate parents/guardians about the various forms of drugs and the peer pressures facing students to use them. In partnership with the Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12, the Byrnes Health Education Center will be presenting this program to three different locations over three different dates.

A mock bedroom serves as the backdrop to the two hour presentation. Parents/ guardians will enter the mock bedroom that has been set up to resemble a potential drug user's room and will then be asked to identify drug and alcohol paraphernalia items that are placed within the bedroom. Throughout the presentation, more than 80 trendy drug and alcohol indicators will be unveiled to show how some adolescents hide drug and alcohol use from their parents. Signs, symptoms and current trends of gateway drugs will be discussed.

This session is FREE of charge. Child care will be available for those parents

who are attending. No one under the age of 18 will be allowed into the program. Pre-registration is required. Please visit: http://bit.ly/Byrnes_Drugs101 to complete your registration. For more information, please contact the Byrnes Health Education Center at (717) 848-3064.
