Addicted to Health in Happy Valley
(A collaborative tour between Utah State Government and
Award-Winning Director of the movie Happy Valley Ron Williams)
The Utah Department Of Health, Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, and The
Department of Substance Abuse have all approved a statewide sponsored tour and program
regarding substance/prescription abuse in our Utah communities. We are working in direct correlation with local county coordinators in producing evening community events across the state.
Format:
Evening Community Events
The community events are open to everyone in the community, students, friends, families and
neighbors can come participate in a multi-media presentation and community forum discussion. In
our test events, the principals of local high schools opened their school auditoriums up for these
events. At these test events it was wonderful to see the interaction of the teens with their families
as they shared in this important and unprecedented state-sponsored event. The goal of this tour
is to reach as many high schools, communities and families as possible throughout the months of
March, April, May and June.
