Operation UNITE
Operation UNITE is promoting a new initiative targeting parents, grandparents
and caregivers. The majority of youth who experiment with prescription drugs
for the first time obtain these drugs from family members or a friend's
family member without consent-making that person an "Accidental Dealer".
This is particularly worrisome, especially since the average age of first-
time drug use in southern and eastern Kentucky is age 11.
Operation UNITE is in dire need of volunteers to help spread the word about
the dangers of being an Accidental Dealer. The campaign, which begins in
January and continues through March, will raise awareness for the need to
properly secure over-the-counter and prescription medications.
The first meeting is January 7 at 12:00pm at the Williamsburg City Hall. If
you cannot attend this training, UNITE is offering an additional meeting on
January 13, 2011 at 6:30pm at Immanuel Baptist Church, 720 Browning Acres
Road, Corbin. A UNITE representative will explain the various components of
this campaign, provide all materials needed to carry out the campaign, and
assist coalitions to begin the organizational process.
To learn more about the Accidental Dealer campaign you may visit UNITE's
website at www.operationunite.org or contact Alli Burton at 606-521-9582 or
aburton@centertech.com. Please help curb the problems associated with
prescription drug abuse by participating in this campaign.
