Story Behind the Curve
Too Good for Drugs is a program offered to school-aged children to help provide education on healthy lifestyle choices and skills to prevent future substance use/abuse. The program will be offered in classes in county schools by the health department's Opioid Response Coordinator as well as the Health Educator beginning 2024, therefore there is no data to show at this time.
