Just Know has initiated, co-sponsored, collaborated on, or contributed to a wide variety of activities in our community. Among those activities were “Alcohol, Drugs and Adolescence” (a forum on substance abuse and risk behavior among our youth), Ready Set Relax (an evening encouraging families to take time to be together and engage), Table Top Talk, the E.Y.E.S Project, Into Me See (Power of Hope), a mock automobile accident at the High School, and an upcoming forum in November featuring nationally known resources in parenting and adolescence.
We have many
projects planned for the coming year, and invite your participation, support,
suggestions, and interest. If you wish to learn more about what we are doing,
