Operation Prevention Educator Reviews
Dickson Public Schools
"The training was straightforward to set up and work through. It was nice to discuss all of the information on the slide with the students before we progressed to the next one. I feel like teenagers know that opioid use is a problem, but they don't always understand 'the why' or the drugs’ effects. The program did a fantastic job of setting up different scenarios. It showed exactly how easy it is to become addicted."
- Danesa Wilson’s Algebra II teacher, Senior Class Sponsor, and Secondary Leadership Committee.

Dickson Public Schools
"As a faculty member and parent of Dickson students, I want all of our students to be as safe and healthy as possible. We are focused on a 'whole child' model, and teaching students about making the right decisions outside of school is part of that. This training was easy to access and appropriate for multiple grade levels. We used it for 6th-12th grade. We are excited to use some of the other resources available through this program in our classrooms throughout the year."
- Jennifer Mays- Krimmer, Intervention Coordinator/District Registrar

The CARE Center is Oklahoma County’s child advocacy center committed to helping children find their voice and begin to heal after abuse. When a child experiences abuse, law enforcement or DHS refers to The CARE Center for their victim services of forensic interviews, medical exams, family advocacy, and mental health services. The CARE Center works together with their team of professionals to ensure the best possible outcome for children, while creating a caring, supportive, and safe environment for the brave children they serve.
With more than 25 years of experience providing services to victims of child abuse, The CARE Center is working to end this epidemic by educating children and adults. Recognizing & Reporting Child Abuse & Neglect, our program for adults, and ROAR, our program for children ages 4-8, give both adults and children the tools they need to identify and prevent child abuse.
