Be Proactive About Prevention

 


It's never too early to start talking to children about choosing to be healthy and drug-free - the good news is that proactive prevention education can help young people learn the facts and skills needed to help them act responsibly and avoid becoming the next substance abuse statistic! InnerAct Alliance's outreach team is always happy to participate in local community events to share information about the prevention programs and events offered by our agency. 

Here are some of the smiling faces of our IAA team members: Susan White and Gavin White share thumbs up with students at Dundee Elementary Academy's Career Day (above). 




Tammy Coker and Gavin White enjoyed meeting with students at the Denison Middle School College & Career Fair. In the community, Charlie Davis and Gavin White hosted an information table at the Junior Women's Club of Lakeland's Live Green event at Munn Park to encourage eco-friendly choices.

For youth ages 13-17, InnerAct Alliance is proud to partner with the Polk County Library Cooperative and the Davenport Historical Society to offer Mindfulness Journaling for Teens classes. Statistics show that journaling may provide healthful benefits from easing stress to sparking self-discovery. This free program is presented by IAA's humane educator Michelle Bachmeier to provide teens with an opportunity to learn how journaling can be used as a tool to express themselves.



If your school, church, or community organization would like InnerAct Alliance to visit with an informative prevention presentation, please call InnerAct Alliance at (863) 802-0777.
