What we do

Our work touches each area of people's lives, also known as the social determinants of health. By focusing on all the factors that contribute to our health and well-being, we are able to partner and work collaboratively to positively impact the health and well-being of individuals, communities and the state. Through coordinated, collective action and focused intention, we lead with curiosity and partnership in mind, continually improving in order to work efficiently, cohesively and succinctly.

There have been several waves of the opioid epidemic, each more fatal than the last. The COVID-19 epidemic exacerbated mortality from overdose; however many factors contribute to varying risks of death by opioid overdose. Due to this invariability, providing appropriate solutions requires more flexibility and thought for certain populations, like those in the rural community.

About Lights...Camera...Prevention!

Lights...Camera...Prevention! (LCP!) is a substance misuse prevention awareness contest open to small teams of 2-4 students in grades 6-12, working with an adult team mentor (like a teacher or group/club leader). This hands-on learning opportunity challenges student teams to learn more about substance misuse issues and prevention through research, collaboration, and the production of a short video and/or audio public service announcement (PSA). This is a great opportunity for a class or for students who are already part of a group, club, or organization (e.g., 4-H club, school health class, church group) or a new group of students to get together to build teamwork and leadership skills, all while competing for prizes.

This contest is designed so that youth AND communities benefit! Youth will learn about the harmful effects of substance misuse and build their audio/video production skills, with the goal of getting their final projects out into the community where their prevention-focused messages can help to increase awareness around this important issue. The LCP! project team will support your team's effort with resources and assistance every step of the way. One thing that makes this contest unique is that the LCP! team provides an interactive presentation to each participating team that empowers youth with knowledge about the science of addiction and shares tips for finding accurate sources and translating those facts into a creative script for a PSA.

The primary purposes of Highway Drug Investigations are to detect, interdict, and disrupt the continual flow of illicit drugs on the nation’s highways. It is where the struggle for superiority of the nation’s highways takes place; a contest between uniformed police officers and the most prolific and dangerous illicit drug traffickers in the world (i.e., Transnational Drug Trafficking Organizations). Emphasis is placed on Mexican drug trafficking organizations, the smuggling routes, transportation corridors, and distribution networks in the United States. Confronting the threat to national security, highway drug interdiction operatives stand as the vanguard in the nation’s second line of defense against those who would export illicit activity, lawlessness, violence, and corruption into the country.
