Hidden in Plain Sight Trailer Returns to Dunwoody Nov. 5

Back by Popular Demand! Dunwoody Strong is once again partnering with the Georgia National Guard Counterdrug Task Force to bring the Hidden in Plain Sight trailer back to our community!

 

Step inside a mock teen bedroom for a free, 10–15 minute guided walk-through experience designed exclusively for adults. Discover how drugs, alcohol, and vaping products can be cleverly disguised and hidden in everyday items, often right in plain sight. 

During this eye-opening experience, you'll learn:

  • How substances are disguised as everyday items
  • Common hiding places parents often overlook
  • Warning signs of substance use and concerning behaviors
  • How to start open, meaningful conversations with teens

Thursday, November 5 | 5:00–8:30 PM


Dunwoody High School (In conjunction with the SAP meeting)

Open to all adults in our community. Don't miss this valuable opportunity to become more informed, aware, and better equipped to help keep our teens safe!
