Hidden in Plain Sight drug awareness program

Clark Township

The Clark Drug Alliance held “Hidden in Plain Sight” a drug awareness program for parents on January 24 at Arthur L. Johnson High School. The event was designed to help parents of teens recognize unfamiliar hazards of drug use that are often in plain sight.

DEA Special Agent Tim McMahon guided attendees through an exhibit of a typical teenager’s bedroom. He spoke about substance abuse trends, the signs and symptoms to watch for and resources to help keep children healthy and drug-free.

The event gave attendees ample time to meet with the experts at a pre-session dinner. The event was well attended.
