The Franklin Grove Living and Rehabilitation Center is partaking in Drug Takeback Day this year by placing informational bags with different goodies and resources as well as worksheet activities made by the Prevention Specialists in Lee County for families and visitors and for residents, to start conversations and provide education on the different areas of substance use prevention.

Thank you to the Lee County Il Health Department and IL Human Performance Project for helping us provide resources for this special awareness event.

You can partake in a Drug Takeback Day this fall by disposing any unwanted/expired pills at the Dixon Police Department. Sharps can be disposed of by calling to set up an appointment through the Lee County Health Department at (815)-284-3371. Lee County Health Dept. also has a cart in the lobby full of free items to take such as Narcan, various testing strips, and additional information! Further information can be found in this post's photos regarding both business hours and collection times.

Happy July, Happy Thursday! ☀️

It has been crazy hot but that hasn't stopped the fun outside! Our prevention specialists have been able to attend some great events including the recent Nami 5k and the Mount Carroll Farmers Market. Turn-out has been great - thank you to those who attended the 5k and if you haven't checked out the Farmer's Market, definitely try to get there! Stay safe and cool, we look forward to seeing everyone again soon! 🌊☀️🌸🥖

Summer often means more freedom, more social events, and sometimes more opportunities for kids and teens to be faced with alcohol. Take the time to practice refusal skills and talk through different scenarios and help your child come up with responses they feel comfortable using. Remind them that they can always use you as an excuse to get out of a situation, and make sure they know your family's expectations. When it comes to underage drinking, the answer is always no.
