Every state and territory
in the U.S. has a National Guard Drug Demand Reduction program
already in place to help communities reach their goals with respect
to drug prevention education. We are a little-known and invaluable
resource of which you should definitely take advantage.
During this session, our National Guard representatives
will discuss what we offer in support of the anti-drug message.
We will highlight some of our top programs; explain the benefits
of assisting you, and currently, as in the past, can do so at
little or no cost to your communities.
We at DDR can provide trained military personnel
to deliver the message of drug-free healthy choices to your schools,
Community Based Organizations (CBO's) and Coalitions as well as
reinforce the message with military assets such as Helicopters,
HMMWVs (Army HUMMER), and other equipment. Many of our DDR personnel
are trained to facilitate meetings, assist in strategic planning
and can offer many other skills unique to military members. Most
state's National Guard DDR programs offer tools such as Red Ribbon,
Freedom Calls, Behind the Faces, ROPES, drug ID kits, Stay On
Track, in-class drug prevention instruction for youth, CBO's,
Parent & Teacher programs, Law Enforcement, and others as
a means of supporting the mission to be drug-free. While there
are benefits to Army and Air National Guard members wearing uniforms
when presenting programs, we do not recruit for the National Guard.
We simply work for our youth to be drug-free, healthy, and happy
as members of our communities. The National Guard are members
of our communities and we are available to assist you toward reaching
your goals.
