.
The Plunge is an innovative approach designed to immerse participants into the depths of the problems, causes and consequences of underage drinking and underage drinking and driving. During the Plunge, students will witness a mock underage drinking and driving accident, follow the “victims” and their “families” to the emergency room, the funeral home and then to the courthouse. The day will end with a guest speaker and question and answer time. Grant County 8th, 9th and 10th graders will be invited to attend next years Plunge!
Small gatherings of community members to discuss the alcohol, tobacco and other drug concerns they have for their area youth and what can be done about it. These can be done anytime there is a group of concerned community members who want to meet with us. Contact us today to set one up!
We have exciting display booths with give-aways to add to any wellness event. Contact us today to invite us! Here’s a list of items we often have at our booths:
Display boards about affects alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other drugs. Safety information such as seat belt usage importance, car chips program, and drunk driving solutions.
