Sometimes it's embarrassing to ask for help. Set up a secret code between you and your children, to help communicate a dangerous or scary situation that they need to leave. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX A veces no es fácil para tus hijos pedir ayuda. Inventa con ellos un código secreto para que te comuniquen cuando necesitan salir de una situación peligrosa o que les cause miedo. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX

Lungs

A fresh start comes with a new season. Spring cleaning doesn't end with your home. Clean out your lungs by taking tobacco out of your life. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX La nueva temporada nos inspira a empezar de nuevo. Y la limpieza de primavera no es solo para la casa. Límpiate los pulmones dejando el tabaco de una vez por todas. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX

Our CHW students volunteered at the Mexican embassy this past Saturday. They are connecting with the community and make it a better place. They are dedicating their time as volunteers, expanding their network, and boosting their social skills. We are proud of them.

Tobacco and Vapes

Tobacco products come in all shapes and sizes. Smokeless tobacco products, like chewing tobacco and dip, are just as dangerous as an e-cigarette or pack of cigarettes. No matter the shape or size, every tobacco product can cause permanent damage. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/smokeless/use_us/index.htm#youth #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX Los productos de tabaco vienen en una variedad de formas y tamaños. Los productos de tabaco sin humo, como el tabaco de mascar, son tan peligrosos como un cigarrillo electrónico o un paquete de cigarrillos. No importa la forma o el tamaño, todos los productos de tabaco pueden causar daños permanentes. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/smokeless/use_us/index.htm#youth #DrugFreeBestMe #LibredeDrogasTX

Community Helath Workers/Promotores de Salud

Because the 2020 has been difficult for so many around the wold, the Adult Education program with Community Family Centers is preparing heroes (Community Helath Workers/Promotores de Salud). They are working with members of the community to help stop this crisis before it happens. CHW requires a different type of heroism such as patient, resilinet, and focuse on the long game. We, the Adult Education program, are so proud of our CHWs students. They are deciminating all the valuable information they learned so the community is informed. Part of the information is to keep informing the neighborhood how to prevent the COVID-19.

A THANKSGIVING MESSAGE from the Adult Education program with Community Family Centers. This year, Thanksgiving may look a little different, but there's still so much to be thankful for. The Adult Education program of Community Family Centers is grateful to be part of changing (for good) the life of many Adult Education students. Our Adult Education students have produced a nice short video in addition to their final project defense. They are graduating very soon, this December 11, 2020. They will be Community Health Workers (CHW) certified through Texas Health and Human Services. Later, they will work to help stop this crisis before it happens. CHW requires a different type of heroism, such as patient, resilient, and focuses on the long game. Happy Thanksgiving! UN MENSAJE DE ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS del programa de Educación para Adultos con Community Family Centers. Este año, el Día de Acción de Gracias puede verse un poco diferente, pero todavía hay mucho por lo que estar agradecido. El programa de Educación para Adultos de Community Family Centers agradece ser parte de un cambio (para siempre) la vida de muchos estudiantes de Educación para Adultos. Nuestros estudiantes de Educación para Adultos han producido un bonito video corto además de la defensa de su proyecto final. Se van a graduar muy pronto, este 11 de diciembre de 2020. Estarán certificados como Trabajadores de Salud Comunitaria (CHW) a través de Servicios Humanos y de Salud de Texas. Más tarde, trabajarán para ayudar a detener esta crisis antes de que suceda. CHW requiere un tipo diferente de heroísmo, como paciente, resistente y se centra en el juego a largo plazo. ¡Feliz día de acción de gracias!

If you notice kids at school are facing peer pressure to try drugs or alcohol, remind them they can always use school performance as an easy excuse to say no. For conversation starters, visit: Bit.ly/DrugFreeTX #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX

Medication

As the semester ramps up, study pressures can build and kids can turn to unhealthy coping behaviors, like prescription medication misuse. Know the signs and symptoms to help prevent a habit. Find out more: Bit.ly/DrugFreeTX

Cope

Substance use and misuse can be a problematic way kids handle stress. Talk to the kids in your life about healthy ways to cope with life’s challenges. #DrugFreeTX #DrugFreeBestMe

Vape

Your children are more likely to start smoking cigarettes if they vape. Eliminate that risk. Eliminate tobacco from your family's life. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX Si ya vapean, es más probable que tus hijos empiecen a fumar cigarrillos. No corras ese riesgo. Elimina el tabaco de la vida de tu familia. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX

Make sure you keep a watchful eye on all your medicine. It is dangerous and illegal to misuse medicine not prescribed to you. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX Vigila bien todos tus medicamentos. Es peligroso e ilegal el uso indebido de medicamentos que no te fueron recetados a ti. #DrugFreeBestMe #DrugFreeTX
