Meth360™
Meth360 is a unique community education program that unites law enforcement, prevention, and treatment professional together to educate the community about meth. These community presentations are co-delivered by these three groups of professionals to parent groups, schools, workplace, healthcare, civic and other organizations. The audience learns about all aspects of meth from experts with diverse perspectives on the issue—a true “360-degree” view. The program’s title comes from the fact that meth, more than any other drug, has an impact beyond the user. It affects families, children, the environment, and entire communities. And it comes at you from all directions.
The Meth360 presentation is divided into six topic areas; Meth Facts; How Meth Affects Users; Impact on Communities; Families and Prevention; Intervention and Treatment and Communities and Prevention. Supplemented with video features, including public service messages and real-life testimony from former meth users, the presentation has been customized by the presenters to reflect local issues and needs. All audience members receive a meth information kit and list of local and national meth information resources.
Response to the Meth360 program has been extremely positive. When surveyed, audience members, community coordinators, and presenters all agree that the Meth360 program is a powerful tool that enhances a community’s ability to raise awareness of the dangers associated with meth use and help people take action in their communities against meth.
Partners for Meth Prevention, in coordination with the Council Bluffs Police Department, have been presenting the program in and around Pottawattamie County. The program has been changed to reflect the actual data from Pottawattamie County and has been receiving great reviews. Without the support of the Council Bluffs Police Department, this program would not be operational in Pottawattamie County.
Meth360 is in various stages of implementation around the Metro area. For more information about Meth360 or to schedule a presentation in your area, please contact:
