How DATE STarted
Drug & Alcohol Trends Education (DATE) started in 2010/2011 as lead instructor, Danielle's, high school senior project & was fine tuned in 2014/2015 as her college senior project. Since then, the program has grown exponentially and has been serving Idaho’s Public Health Region 2 and beyond.
The DATE program covers multiple topics to keep educators, medical staff, counselors, prevention providers, coalitions, law enforcement, emergency responders, parents, community members, and everyone in between aware of the ever changing trends relating to Drugs and Alcohol.
Our most requested topics:
·Rx & OTC Medications of Abuse
·Marijuana Concentrates
·E-Cigs & Vaping
·Media Influence
·Illicit & Semi-Illicit Substances
·Alcohol
·Diversion Safes/Stash Containers
Mobile Mock Bedroom
As of 2019 DATE offers a Mobile Mock Bedroom so attendees can identify many of the potential red flags that could be found in a “typical” youth bedroom.
The trailer & props can also be utilized for law enforcement canine training, room searches, as well as help officers better identify the ever changing concealment methods & other red flags they may come across.
These training can be staged in a variety of ways including in vehicles, property bags, on persons, and more.
Extra Offerings
We use hands-on visual aids, a mobile mock bedroom & display various products during our presentations.
Your class can be customized for your specific needs and can range from a few hours to a whole day.
