Red Ribbon Week ~ Culminating Activity
On Thursday, November 7th, Brian Sanfilippo from Preferred Family Healthcare brought six adolescents to speak to the middle school about their journeys with addiction. Mr. Sanfilippo is the clinical director at Preferred Family Healthcare, a drug treatment center for teens ages 12-18. Mr. Sanfillippo also works with Baseline, an outreach program with the Centers for a Drug-Free Youth who speak in the community about sobriety and safe choices. The talk made a big impact on both the teens who told us their stories and the students at Blair Oaks. Feel free to take this opportunity to talk to your kids about the choices they are faced with even at this young age.
