(1888PressRelease) April 01, 2015 - Drug-Free South (DFS) is the Tennessee Chapter of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, and will be having an Open House on April 7th for World Health Day.

The Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides the Truth About Drugs booklets, the "They Said, They Lied" public service announcements, and the 100-minute documentary, The Truth About Drugs: Real People, Real Stories which all work together to provide students the facts on drugs. DFS helps kids understand the truth about drugs, so they don't get caught off-guard when a dealer is trying to talk them into doing something they will always regret.

According to the World Health Organization which sponsors World Health Day, "[the day] is celebrated on 7 April every year to mark the anniversary of the founding of WHO [World Health Organization] in 1948. Each year a theme is selected that highlights a priority area of public health. The Day provides an opportunity for individuals in every community to get involved in activities that can lead to better health."

Drug-Free South is celebrating by showcasing its materials for educators in a forum where they are free to ask questions and gain an insight into the program and its curriculum. Guest participants at the open house will include Cornelius Carroll who co-founded the program Saving Our Youth, and has personal experience visiting schools to help students make good choices.
