My Town Belding: Prom safety tips from the Ionia County Health Dept.
--------------NEWS RELEASE------------
BELDING, Mich. (Ionia County Health Department)-- It’s that time of year when Ionia County schools will be celebrating their proms and graduations.
Ionia County Substance Abuse Initiative (ICSAI) reminds us that it is an especially important time for students, schools, and parents to think about the risks of using alcohol, marijuana and other drugs. According to Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) “Think About It… Prom and Graduation Season Campaign”, there is a rise in the use of alcohol and drugs during prom and graduation season. Thus, it is important to take preventative action to ensure that students are alcohol and drug free, during this time of year. According to testimonials from the SADD website, students who abstain from the use of alcohol and illegal drugs have better memories of their prom and graduation.
Below are tips for prom and graduation season:
