Parents and caregivers play a key role in prevention by having open conversations early, sharing facts, and making it clear you’re a trusted source for questions.

PADD has partnered with our friends at the Tennessee National Guard Counter drug Taak Force and will be hosting the "Stashed Away" Exhibit during the Dyer County Health Department's Back to School Bash.

The "Stashed Away" trailer, a mobile educational exhibit designed to simulate a teenager's bedroom. It travels to community events, schools, and coalitions to teach parents and caregivers about hidden drug hiding spots and paraphernalia.

Parents are encouraged to study up on the signs of their youth's dangerous decision-making. PADD will provides helpful resources and toolkits making the tough conversations less intimidating and successfully engaging.

See you there!

We had a fantastic turn out today for our program with PADD! We decorated flower pots, and had some pretty amazing pots. Our friends group brought over aloe and soil to plant and each participant got a packet of pollinator seeds to spread 🥰 week 2 of summer reading comes to a close and so far weve had 4 kiddos reach their reading goals. We are officially halfway there!
See you guys next week! Thank you Prevention Alliance of Dyersburg & Dyer County for a wonderful program. We appreciate everything you guys are doing in our communities.
