Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is coming at the end of October! Red Ribbon Week is the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program! At WCS, we promote a healthy life by avoiding substances, like alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, and vaping, and encouraging the use of healthy coping skills like mindfulness, practicing gratitude, physical activity, and connecting with others. Research shows that if we begin to talk about substances sooner, the more likely we are to prevent substance misuse! A key factor in drug prevention is teaching and building skills to help with coping, in order to prevent youth from using substances as a way to cope.
