Parent Volunteers Can Bring Awareness Campaign Materials into School
Volunteers can really help their school and other parents to prevent substance abuse by bringing awareness campaign materials into their schools.
Very often awareness campaigns that are organized by health and addictions organizations as well as governments. These campaigns often include materials and activities for parents, students, teachers and schools. They often include practical steps and materials to be distributed.
Parents who are interested in raising the awareness of their parents about drug issues, can use these opportunities for immediate success in their schools.
Here are some samples of such campaign materials, Check back here periodically as we will try to keep this page updated as new campaigns are launched.
Remember, you can adapt materials from another jurisdiction (with their permission) and still create a benefit for your parents, school and students.
