Community Parent Educational Meeting
March 30

You are invited to an important parent education meeting to learn about the Georgia Meth Project and the dangers associated with methamphetamine use. The state of Georgia ranks third in the nation among children ages 12-17 in the use of methamphetamines.

The Meth Project parent meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 30 at 7 pm in Parish Hall at Church of the Good Shepherd on Walton Way. The presentation will last 30 minutes following which there will be time for question and answer.

Augusta native Pete Caye, a major advocate for the Meth Project, will lead the presentation.

What is the Meth Project? The Meth Project is a large-scale prevention program aimed at reducing first-time Meth use through public service messaging, public policy, and community outreach. Central to the program is a research-based marketing campaign that graphically communicates the risks of Meth use. The Meth Project has been repeatedly cited as a powerful private-sector response to a devastating social problem and was recognized by the White House as one of the nation's most effective prevention programs.

The Meth Project's core message, Not Even Once, speaks directly to the highly addictive nature of Meth. Every day, people are faced with the decision to try Meth. Many perceive benefits in using the drug, but little-to-no risk. This is the root of the problem. The goal of the Meth Project is to arm teens and young adults with the facts about methamphetamine so that they can make well-informed decisions when presented with the opportunity to try it.

The Meth Project message is being delivered to Richmond and Columbia County Schools, and each private school head wants to make this information available to you as well. We encourage you to learn more about the dangers associated with methamphetamine use and ways in which you can support this effort.
