On May 18th, we held our Second Annual Rockville ROCKS! The event allowed over 300 community members to come together, learn about prevention, and spend family time together engaging in various activities. Fifteen local organizations displayed their resources, the Vernon Police Department presented a K9 demonstration, and a Hidden in Plain Sight demonstration allowed for parents to look through a mock teenage bedroom. In addition, family activities included sand art, bubbles, a bounce house, and an “Escape the Vape” escape room designed to educate families about the dangers of vaping. Food was provided by Little Marks BBQ and Kona Ice. Be on the lookout for this event next May!
We are hosting our Take Back Day on April 27th at Walgreens in Vernon from 10am -2pm! Bring any unused or unwanted medications to dispose of them safely.
Did you know April is Alcohol Awareness Month? This a time to educate ourselves and others about the potential risks and effects of alcohol consumption along with promoting healthy choices for a safer environment. For example using terms like Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) recognizes that it is medical condition with evidence based treatments available.
DEA Take Back Day is back! Come safely dispose of your unwanted or unused medications on Saturday April 27th from 10am-2pm at Walgreens in Vernon.
