Brighter Future Program Featured in Local News Broadcast



Community organizer Emanuel “Boo” Milton speaks to WAFB about the Brighter Future Program, which connects kids to quality vision care.  Click image to view broadcast.

About the Brighter Future Program: When a child can’t see well they will struggle to view laptops, whiteboards, assignments, and other learning materials which can lead to stress, anxiety, and a lack of confidence (which is key to learning). From this discomfort, it may lead to further external expressions of behavioral health challenges such as a reluctance in completing assignments and disruption of instructional time for themselves and others. If we can get children the VISION they deserve at a critical moment it will set them on a clearer path to achieve personal and academic success. Bright Future: Clear Vision provides children full eye examinations and optical quality glasses at no cost.

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.
