If you are raising a child, this is an opportunity you do not want to miss. The Bourne Substance Free Coalition, sponsored by the Bourne High School Nye Enrichment Grant, will be hosting a free program called Hidden in Plain Sight at Upper Cape Tech on Thursday, May 12 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm and again on Friday, May 13 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Upper Cape Tech is located at 220 Sandwich Road in Bourne, MA.
Hidden in Plain Sight is an interactive education program for parents/guardians that features an exhibit where adults are encouraged to explore and interact with a display designed to resemble a teenager’s bedroom. Throughout the exhibit are items that may indicate that a teenager may be involved in some high-risk behavior such as substance abuse, underage drinking, eating disorders, sexual activity and other dangers.
Following an exploration of the mock bedroom exhibit, resources will be provided and there will be an informative presentation by members of the Bourne Substance Free Coalition, which include the Bourne police, the sheriff’s office, school personnel, therapists and other members of the community.
There is no charge to attend this program. Refreshments will be served.
