Social norms campaigns in our schools help students rethink perceptions about use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Ms. Cindy and Ms. Amy from our IAA team regularly visit with students at Denison Middle School in Winter Haven to spread awareness and share the positives in youth culture that show most Polk County students in grades 6-12 ARE NOT using drugs - statistics show that 84% do not drink Alcohol, 87% do not use Marijuana, 96% do not use traditional Tobacco, and 88% do not Vape or use E-cigarettes. (Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey - FYSAS).
Knowing the Facts can help kids avoid succumbing to peer pressure when they learn that teens just like them are making healthy choices by choosing NOT to smoke, drink, or use substances.🚭
Please support local prevention initiatives by inviting a representative from IAA to share a free educational program at your school - give us a call at 863-802-0777.
