Hidden in Plain Sight drug awareness tour to be held Tuesday evening at LCHS

 

[May 10, 2021] 

Hidden in Plain Sight, a drug awareness drive-thru tour will be hosted in the Lincoln Community High School parking lot on Tuesday, May 11th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Hidden in Plain Sight is a drive-thru event intended for parents and caregivers. Come join us at Lincoln Community High School for a 20-minute journey through a messy teenager’s bedroom. Take your shot at identifying signs of risky behavior by looking at pictures of a child’s bedroom. All participants will be taking home a free dinner prepared by Deep Roots Café while supplies last! Participants are encouraged to drive thru the event anytime between 4pm-6pm.

This event gives participants a peek at harmful substances and other items that youth can hide in plain sight. From station to station, facilitators will show various parts of the bedroom. As a result of the event, participants will be better equipped to help local youth stay healthy and safe.

The Hidden in Plain Sight Event has been coordinated by the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Community Health Collaborative’s Substance Use Prevention Coalition in partnership with Chestnut Health Systems, Lincoln/Logan Crimestoppers, LCHS, and the SIU Medicine’s Center for Rural Health & Social Service Development. Dinners are funded by the ALMH Foundation.

This event was originally planned for April 20th but had to be rescheduled due to snow.
