The OTUS Trailer: Recognize Signs of Youth Substance Abuse In Plain Sight

 


Most kids are doing the right thing, but there are signs to watch for to know if they are heading in the wrong direction. Correcting risky behaviors early is the key to successful prevention!

Own the Upside is a campaign formed by the Coalition Partnership of Hardee, Highlands, and Polk Counties to help prevent harm and promote health for our youth. We are proud to partner with the Polk County Sheriff's Foundation to present an exciting resource to educate parents and caregivers of teens in our community.

OTUS Trailer - The "Own the Upside...Avoid the Downside" trailer is a mobile, interactive exhibit housing a replica of a teens' bedroom that parents can walk through to learn how to recognize clues signaling potential involvement in drugs and risky behaviors visible in plain sight or easily concealed in ordinary everyday items in the room. This presentation is meant for adults only - no children please!

How Can You Help? - to support efforts to encourage healthy behaviors and reduce substance abuse, your organization may invite a representative from InnerAct Alliance to visit with the OTUS trailer and share an informative presentation with your group who all play a pivotal part in educating youth about making healthy choices - the community standard we all want to promote and grow. We look forward to visiting your PTA, PTO, Booster Club, or other adult group in Hardee, Highlands, and Polk County soon!

To schedule a presentation for Fall 2026,
