The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is joining schools across the state and nation to celebrate Red Ribbon Week, October 23-31. The celebration is a time for youth, educators, parents, and communities to learn about the dangers of drug use and prevent addiction.
Red Ribbon Week raises awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs facing communities and encourages parents, educators, business owners, and other community organizations to promote drug-free lifestyles.
