Our Prevention Podcast!
If it’s one thing that can be hard to do, it’s trying to explain ALL of the things that Prevention offers to schools and communities. Which is why we have started a Prevention Podcast!
Podcasts have gotten so popular and what better way to break down all things Prevention, than starting one of our own!
Each episode will speak to a different topic and allow you, the listener, to digest bits and parts at a time.
Enjoy and stay tuned to more episodes!
Check out this month’s Prevention Campaigns from CASA-Trinity!
Offering education and prevention awareness to various events and topics to help make communities safer.
September is National Recovery Month!
This month long awareness is very near and dear to our hearts, as it honors so many things! From, those who are on their path to recovery, found recovery or are providing evidence-based programming on living drug-free!
Recovery doesn’t mean that life stops, or becomes boring! There are so many wonderful things that you actually get back or get to enjoy, that you might have thought you never would!

Let’s talk about stigma…
Our last Awareness Campaign kicks off this month: Anti-Stigma.
Addressing the stigma of addiction is crucial to foster a more supportive and understanding environment for those struggling with substance use disorders. Stigma often leads to shame and isolation, preventing individuals from seeking the help they need. By breaking down these negative perceptions, we hope to encourage more people to access treatment and support.
Together, we can shatter stigma and give folks support in finding help.

Safe ways to talk with youth about Fentanyl.
All of us were at the age once, where most of our parents warned us about drugs and alcohol. However, since then, things have gotten stronger and more potent than they used to be. In the world of prevention, we believe that there is space for calm and open conversations to have with youth about the dangers of experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Above all, safety is just as important to us as it is to you as a parent or guardian. That’s why we create resources like the ones below.
