School health and resource fairs in our 5 Parish area, drug take back day, mental health first aid course, training and implementing new prevention programming for schools. And participating in Red Ribbon Week by providing cups to our students that say, "Life is a puzzle, live drug free"! All exciting prevention work and we absolutely love every minute of it!!!

Good morning. Beauregard Prevention Coalition recognizes Mrs. Janet Vincent for her support of the coalition working behind the scenes and staying ahead of what she knows we might be working on. Her ideals and ways in how we present substance misuse and su***de prevention educational messaging to our community cannot be matched! If you see her around today congratulate her for all she does in her capacities in our community. BPC appreciates you Janet!
