CAMPA Gets Jump on Drug-Free Work Week

Carol Hastings noted that October 19th is Drug-Free Work Week. Since we have a resource within the CAMPA Support Group, we are going to launch a five month plan to get some publicity for your locations for this upcoming event.

Jolene Benner is a person that is currently working with Doug Kimball on a grant proposal for a local school district. Although this project is a long term 1-2 year horizon, we hope to develop a template for other locations. Jolene lives in Lancaster, not too far from Doug’s office. Jolene has had some experience in promoting events such as Drug-Free Work Week.

This year's Drug-Free Work Week is October 19-25, and organizations of all sizes and in all industries are encouraged to take part and help spread the message that "Working Drug Free Works!" This event is now in its 4th year and this national campaign will highlight the importance of being drug free in relation to workplace safety and encourages workers with alcohol and drug problems to seek help. We hope to leverage off of the national focus and get some publicity locally.
