The Floyd County Cooperative Extension Service and Family & Consumer Sciences Advisory Council implemented Truth & Consequences: The Choice is Yours, a scenario based role-play activity designed to help students learn more about the physical, legal, financial, and emotional consequences of substance abuse, for 170 Floyd Central High School students. 31 community partners and adult volunteers participated in the event. 

Students rotated between five different stations. The stations included the Truth & Consequences actual program and four mini-speaker sessions. The mini-speaker sessions included real life experiences with drugs and alcohol, faith-based, neonatal abstinence syndrome, and the dangers of vaping.

Students claimed this program was impactful and made them think twice before making a choice that could affect their entire future. One student stated, “this has been a great opportunity to show us what choices we have and possible opportunities we will miss out on the future based on one bad choice.”
