STEP Up Jenkins

Yesterday was one of my Community Days. Thank you to the wait staff at Round's On Winthrope for their great service and patience.

Busy schedules can lead to overlooked habits.

As you prep for fall activities, make SAFE HOME practices part of your routine:
• Lock up alcohol.
• Secure medications and other substances.
• Create an environment where support, hope, and help are always within reach.

Prevention doesn't have to be complicated—it starts with intentional choices.

Hope starts at home. By locking up alcohol, medications, and other substances, you're creating a SAFE HOME that can help prevent substance misuse and reduce risk during a mental health crisis. One simple action can make a life-saving difference.

We at STEP Up Jenkins would like to wish all the students and educators a happy first day of school. It is our hope that you all have a safe & successful 2026-2027 school year.

It is our hope that you all have a safe & successful 2026-2027 school year filled with learning and growth. We strongly encourage everyone to get involved in community programs and support local initiatives. Remember, your participation is important for the future of Jenkins County! Let's all work together to make this a superb school year. Thank you for being a part of our wonderful community!

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we can't see. Every statistic represents a person, a family, and a community. By addressing mental health, reducing substance misuse, reducing access to substances, and supporting one another, we can help prevent both overdoses and su***de.

Today ‼️‼️‼️

Every path begins at home. The choices we make today help shape the direction our children take tomorrow.
One of the simplest ways to protect our youth is by creating a SAFE HOME:

🔒 Lock up alcohol.
🔒 Secure prescription medications.
🔒 Safely store ma*****na and other substances.

Keep the conversation going about making healthy choices. When alcohol and substances are less accessible, young people are less likely to experiment. Small actions at home can make a lifelong difference.

Let’s work together to create homes that lead our children down a safer path. Take the SAFE HOMES™ Pledge and help protect the next generation.
