Community Programs
MED RETURN BOXES
The Awake Community Coalition in collaboration with the Monclova Fire Department and the Waterville and Whitehouse Police Departments offer three permanent med return boxes for proper disposal of unused and unwanted medications.
ID SCANNERS
Just one way our community can take part in preventing underage drinking.
Although only a tool, with a single swipe of a state issued driver's license or identification card, the Identification (ID) Checker can verify that the card holder is of legal drinking age. It can also detect a potential false identification card. For more information on how to borrow the scanners for your next event, contact our office at 419-877-0466 ext. 12037.
YOUTH DIVERSION
Youth learn to identify their thinking patterns and the effect that they have on the quality of their lives. Through positive, upbeat activities and individual self-assessment, youth begin to set positive goals for their future. This ten week course, meets once a week and is a peer based curriculum. Youth that have finished the program state that they feel more self confident, get along better with their families, and have the tools they need to succeed.
