Foundation for a Drug-Free World Educates Youth on the Deadly Effects of Drugs with a Drug-Free Youth Festival

"Truth About Drugs" seminar in the Foundation for a Drug Free World Florida office, downtown Clearwater.

It is not only important that parents and youth learn the facts about drugs and alcohol and how these affect the body and mind, it is vital if we are going to put an end to the current drug crisis.”
— Julieta Santagostino, President FDFW FL chapter
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, US, January 16, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Clearwater, FL – Drug overdoses are on the rise and the Foundation for a Drug-Free World (FDFW) Florida Chapter is spreading the truth about drugs with the Drug-Free Youth Festival on January 26th at 1:30pm at the Osceola Courtyard located at 201 N. Fort Harrison Ave in Clearwater, Florida. Youth and parents are invited to attend the complimentary Drug-Free Youth Festival on January 26th to enjoy live music, dance challenges, a scavenger hunt, photo station, games and raffle prizes; all while learning important facts about drugs and alcohol, so they can make the right decision to live drug-free.



“Your child has a 70% chance of being offered an illegal drug,” said Julieta Santagostino the President of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World Florida Chapter. “They have to get the facts about the dangers of drugs so they can stand up to the peer pressure.”



Per a study done by Colombia University, seven out of ten teenagers have been offered an illegal drug. And per the National Institute on Drug Abuse, teens whose parents talk to them about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs.



“No parent wants to go through the horrors of their child getting addicted to drugs or the pain of losing a loved one to an overdose,” Santagostino said. “It is not only important that parents and youth learn the facts about drugs and alcohol and how these affect the body and mind, it is vital if we are going to put an end to the current drug crisis. If the parents don’t know about the effects of drugs how can they warn their kids?”
