The campaign utilizes Generation Rx messages and trainings to cover proper storage, monitoring, and disposing of medications to decrease the likelihood of those medications being used for abuse purposes. Another component of this campaign is the distribution of lock boxes and medication disposal pouches, all of which can be obtained by request from Goodwill Easter Seals. Medication disposal pouches can also be picked up at any Goodwill location in Montgomery County. Generation Rx trainings are open to the public and can be scheduled by request.

Schools of Excellence in prevention  
Students spend five to six hours a day in school making it the optimal place to promote healthy behaviors and student resilience. The mission of Schools of Excellence in Prevention (SEP) is to assist schools with implementing best-practice prevention services and strategies to create healthy, drug-free environments that promote optimal mental health for students, parents, teachers, and staff in the school community.  Schools who participate in the SEP program will be able to earn money for their school while implementing quality, research-based prevention programming. 
Second Step
Second Step is a program rooted in social-emotional learning (SEL) that helps transform schools into supportive, successful learning environments uniquely equipped to encourage children to thrive. More than just a classroom curriculum, Second Step’s holistic approach helps create a more empathetic society by providing education professionals, families, and the larger community with tools to enable them to take an active role in the social-emotional growth and safety of today’s children.
