SECURE MONITOR DISPOSE

PLEASE!! Do not leave unused or expired Rx medications in your home!

 

Two-thirds of teens who report abusing prescription medication say they get it from the home of a family member or friend. You can drop off your unused or expired medications safely at your local Manatee County Police Department.

 

Alternatively, you can contact us to learn how you can get Deterra drug disposal bags and safely dispose of your medications at home.

PREVENTION PRESENTATIONS

If your Manatee County group or organization would like to learn more about specific substances and their effects, local conditions regarding substance abuse/ mental health, or what you can do to help North River Prevention Partners in their work, please send us an email, and we will be happy to come to you and present to your group at no cost to you!

KNOW THE LAW

Know the Law is a program that is delivered to 6th and 9th graders in Manatee County, public middle and high schools.

 

It is based on the premise that when kids know better, they do better. The presentation is given to the students by their SRO and they get booklet to take home so they can discuss what they learned with their caregivers.

 

If your student comes home with one, please take the time to go through it with them. Who knows, you might learn something new, too!

North River Nonprofit Alliance

The NRNA began as a way for nonprofits serving the North River communities to partner and share resources during Covid. 

NRNA's mission is to create partnerships and collaborations among nonprofit organizations that expand the services of each partner to strengthen and empower the community we serve and we envision A community where collaboration between agencies and organizations is the norm and the needs of residents are always met. 

 

It has been a successful venture with many community partners meeting monthly and working together to make our community better. 

 

If you are interested in your organization being a part of NRNA, contact Ally Bergmann at
