December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. As a young driver, you are especially at risk! It's important to remember to never drive under the influence or get in a car with someone who has been drinking or using and always call someone for a safe ride home!

Connect Evergreen is holding a variety of Community Learning Sessions over the next few months. The next session, "Stress Management," will be happening on January 20th. Come check out the session and invite your family or friends to join you for this awesome event! 🩵
