Students from Attucks Middle School in Hollywood visited Drug Court this week, where they learned about this problem-solving court and its mission to help participants address substance abuse issues and become productive, successful members of society.
Drug Court staff spoke with the students about the dangers of drug use, how the risks are amplified by the widespread presence of fentanyl, and the steps they can take to avoid addiction and make healthy choices. Students also learned about Narcan and how it can save a life during a drug-induced emergency.
Our Drug Court is one of only 10 nationally recognized mentor courts, a distinction that reflects the exceptional work accomplished by Judge Michael Davis and the Drug Court team.
The students’ visit was especially timely, as May is recognized as Problem-Solving Courts Month in Florida.
