Play Hard Live Healthy Preston County

Sometimes it can seem like “everyone” is drinking or using substances but that’s not the reality.

Most Preston County teens are making healthy choices.

So keep doing your thing. Protect your goals, your friendships, your activities, and the future you’re building. You don’t need alcohol or other drugs to fit in.

💪 Be yourself.
🎯 Stay focused.
🛡️ Protect your play.

Parents and caregivers are one of the strongest lines of defense when it comes to preventing underage drinking.

Clear expectations matter. Knowing the plan matters. And keeping alcohol out of the hands of teens matters.

🏠 Set the rules.
💬 Have the conversation.
🔒 Secure alcohol in the home.
❤️ Help your teen make healthy choices.

A strong defense starts at home and parents are part of the team.

💜 International Overdose Awareness Day 💜

Today, Preston County remembers those we have lost to overdose, supports the families and friends impacted, and stands with those on the journey of recovery.

Overdose is preventable. Recovery is possible. Together, we can reduce stigma, increase awareness, and save lives.

❤️ Mark your calendar for Save a Life Day on September 24! Stop by Walmart or Wesley United Methodist Church to learn more about overdose prevention, naloxone, and resources available right here in Preston County.

Remember. Support. Prevent. 💜
