What’s Your Side Effect (WYSE) is an alcohol and prescription drug awareness, positive norms media campaign for high school aged students. The focus is that just as making negative choices for our lives has negative side effects, making positive choices for our lives has positive ones! Teens are encouraged to analyze their life and identify what they are able to do because of their choice to live substance free. These side effects are then broadcast to the community via posters and public service announcements to encourage community members to do the same with their lives!

Suicide Overdose Fatality Review (SOFR) is a program that was initiated by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH). As one of the leading counties for suicide and oversode deaths in the state, we were invited to participate. The SOFR team meets monthly to analyze a real life case from Delaware County that resulted in loss of life from suicide or overdose with the goal to identify areas where individuals could’ve received more help but didn’t. These analyses are then taken and used to implement changes in our community to better serve community members.
