Reality Tour, an Educational Experience for Families

Reality Tour® is a parent/child prevention experience with lasting impact. It provides the foundation for open discussion during the teen years.

Reality Tour Includes:

  • Dramatic presentation of choices made and consequences of a teen on drugs.
  • Coping skills to use as a family.
  • Q & A with a person in recovery

Requirements:

Your child must be at least 10 years old and attend with you. Parent or guardian involvement is so critical to the experience. Attending together is vital to continue the conversation beyond the program!

In Loving Memory

It is with great sadness to share that Megan Palmer passed away on January 8, 2022 in Midland at her parents after a short battle with cancer. She was surrounded by the love of the family and friends. It is truly a devastating loss not only to our coalition but to our community as well. She was a great advocate for youth and preventing youth substance use. She has helped create so much change in our community and we cannot thank her enough.

Megan went to great lengths with her team on the LCCA/LCCP and Big Red Barrel to bring free training and valuable educational programs for parents and teens to help foster the discussion around substance use/abuse.  Many of you may have seen her in the community at the numerous events, talking with teens and parents, and just volunteering in general because that is who she was.

We will never forget the work that she did and will continue to work to prevent youth substance use in her memory. She will truly be missed.

Safe Boating is our BUI (Boating Under the Influence) campaign. For many boat operators, they don’t know that they can become impaired more quickly than a driver, drink for drink.

Do you or someone you know have a substance use problem?
