Hidden in Plain Sight
What is Hidden In Plain Sight?
“Hidden In Plain Sight” is a drug awareness program for parents. The program focuses on what parents can learn about everyday items that may be indicators of risky behavior and/or drug use for their preteen or teenager. It includes a mock teenage bedroom that parents and caregivers can inspect to understand what may be truly hidden in plain sight. A Healthy Lynnfield, in partnership with Lynnfield Public Schools and the Lynnfield Police Department, offers "Hidden In Plain Sight" at both the Lynnfield Middle School and Lynnfield High School Open Houses.
Did you miss us at Open House?
If you missed us at Open House, do not worry! Our friends at the Newport County Prevention Coalition have created an online, interactive mock bedroom, similar to what we presented in-person in September at Lynnfield Middle School and Lynnfield High School. Please take some time to review this helpful tool!
