Brighter Future Program

In brief, the Brighter Future Program is an initiative I've started to bridge the barrier of access and income to optical health and wellness. We are providing FREE Eye Examinations & Eye Glasses (Glasses, if needed).

Optical health is much broader than "needing glasses" there are other health conditions that can be present even if someone doesn't need glasses. Typical eye screenings at schools do not catch the underlying conditions that a Full Eye examination does. So we want to make sure every child has the same access to a Full eye examination.

It's a year round program but we are doing a big event to service as many kids as possible ages 6-12 !!!

SAMHSA Video Challenge

Since joining the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention last year, I have been inspired by the amazing work our prevention partners are doing to support our young people during this challenging time. What has really stood out to me is not just your continued work and dedication, but the amazing work and dedication of the young people in your programs who have not just stood by during the pandemic, but sought out leadership roles within prevention programs, to bring their unique perspectives, skills and creative ideas to the work of prevention. This year during National Prevention Week (NPW), May 9–15, 2021, SAMHSA wants to highlight the amazing work of these young leaders by asking them to record a short video highlighting their work and motivation to take leadership roles in prevention programs. See flyer for details.
