Fatal Vision Kits
The Fatal Vision® Marijuana Simulation Experience Event Kit is a complete package containing six activities and the required accessories to help teach the potentially dangerous consequences of recreational marijuana use. Lessons and activities demonstrate the loss of visual perception, short-term memory loss, altered visual perception and slowed reaction time and decision-making.
Merchant Education
Palmetto Retailers Education Program (PREP) is a merchant education program approved by S.C. Department of Revenue and S.C. Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services. PREP is a short course that helps reduce underage access to alcohol and tobacco products in Newberry County. This curriculum provides managers and servers/sellers with the knowledge and skills to comply with state laws as they relate to alcohol and tobacco sales. The curriculum gives merchants the tools needed to establish alcohol and tobacco policies, in order to avoid the potential consequences of failing to comply with those policies.
Alcohol Education Program (AEP)
The AEP program is a prevention education program of Westview Behavioral Health Services that is designed for youth who are in violation of minor first-time alcohol and drug offenses. For more information on this program, contact Heather Davenport at (803) 276-5690.
Law Enforcement Collaboration
The Coalition works with local law enforcement to conduct compliance checks as well as party patrols and checkpoints throughout Newberry County. It is a collaborative effort that works towards the same goal of keeping our community safe. We also collaborate on hosting several events for our "Prom Promise" campaign. To learn more about this event, click here.
This year, we will also be hosting our third annual Tom Perry's Better Together Community Basketball Tournament. This is a community-wide event that gives our local youth a chance to come together in a fun, casual environment with our local law enforcement and other community leaders. This gives our youth a chance to form more positive relationships with them which in turn creates a community that works "Better Together." For more information on this year's event, click here!
