Kelly Bear to the Rescue

Research shows that drug and alcohol prevention programs are more effective when taught at an early age because children form life-long health-related attitudes and behaviors during pre-school years.

The Kelly Bear to the Rescue program targets preschool age children and delivers an important message about alcohol and drug use. Trained volunteers teach preschoolers about the dangers of tobacco, alcohol, poison and medicine in four, half-hour classes.

The life-size Kelly Bear mascot even makes special appearances to help reinforce the lessons learned in the interactive classes.
