Foundation for Youth teens developed and performed a theatrical presentation entitled “We Know” to talk about opioid abuse prevention.
Funded through a Project Prevent grant from the Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress in Bartholomew County.
Project Prevent is a grant program of the Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County and ASAP, made possible by the Mark and Wendy Elwood Substance Abuse Prevention Fund. Grants from the fund are targeted to programming to spread knowledge appropriate uses of opioids and the dangers of misuse.
During Foundation for Youth’s summer programming, Project Prevent brought in artists and other professionals to work with teens to produce projects, including this theatrical performance, to help participants express themselves artistically while learning about opioids and addiction prevention.
