Substance Use Prevention Day- October 10, 2024.
Sophomore students from Brookwood learned about and experienced the effects(simulated) of substance use impairments, distracted/impaired driving, stress management, vaping and how to quit, healthy eating, and the lived experience of substance use survivors. This program was sponsored by the MCSCC with financial support from Mayo Clinic and Monroe County Human Services. We would like to thank the presenters from law enforcement, Fort McCoy, UW Extension, Agents for Change, Next Steps for Change and Monroe County Health Department as well as the many volunteers who made this program possible.
