Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. Established in 1985 to honor the memory of Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique (Kiki) Camarena, the Red Ribbon campaign symbolizes a commitment to raise awareness of the destruction caused by drugs in America.

Raise your awareness of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and violence, and learn what you can do to help celebrate Red Ribbon Week with timely resources development in conjunction with our social impact partners.

Dose of Knowledge

CVS Health and Discovery Education have partnered to expand the Pharmacists Teach program into the classroom with a no-cost prevention program, Dose of Knowledge. The program strives to empower educators and pharmacists to address substance misuse and educate students to make good decisions for the health and well-being of themselves and their community.

Ask, Listen, Learn

A Program of Responsibility.org
Informed students make better decisions. Join Ask, Listen, Learn and Discovery Education as we uncover the science behind how alcohol affects developing brains, bodies and behavior. Together, we’ll equip students with vital prevention resources and dive deep into the science, data and facts, leading kids to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to all risky behaviors.

Be Vape Free

The Be Vape Free initiative is a confluence of like-minded organizations who have joined forces to tackle the use of e-cigarettes among our nation’s youth through the creation and distribution of engaging content for grades 5–12 on the risks of e-cigarettes. By leveraging partner resources and working together as a collaborative initiative, we hope to keep students informed on the long-term health risks of vaping. Join our mission to provide educators and pharmacists with the tools to keep students informed in the classroom, and the evidence-based programs that will lead students to make healthy, smart decisions for life.

Operation Prevention

The DEA has joined forces with Discovery Education to provide no-cost online tools that support every member of the community with the power of prevention. Help kickstart life-saving conversations today with standards-aligned English & Spanish-language resources for students in grades 3-12, plus additional resources designed for educators, families, and professionals.
