Teach Kids Drug Awareness Early
Communities Participating in 'Just Say No' Campaign

By Robin McClure, About.com

Kids as young as preschool can benefit from the annual Red Ribbon Campaign that creates drug prevention and awareness around the simple theme of "Just say no to drugs!" The annual event is now the oldest and largest program of its kind and reaches millions of youngsters each year. Parents benefit from the information too, with reminders to lock-up their medications (for child safety as well limiting accessibility), learning signs of possible use, and ways to help keep children safe from exposure to drugs.
