Wellington’s Kirstyn Gregory did not join SCCDAT until last fall, but so far she has not been disappointed.
“The SCCDAT program at Wellington works to put a positive message out to the school and the community,” Gregory said. “The club teaches about the negative impact drugs and alcohol have on our students and provides resources for anyone who might be struggling. They have also hosted a speaker to stress the importance of mental health awareness.”
Being able to be a positive influence on her peers, as well as the Wellington community, is just one benefits Gregory has found with SCCDAT.
“SCCDAT has benefited me by teaching me to be more aware of the issues many students have with illicit substances,” Gregory said. “It has provided me the tools to serve as a positive influence to other students and members of our community. I believe it has helped me to become a better role model and better friend.”
If any student at Wellington, or any other SCCDAT school, would be interested in joining the club, Gregory would recommend joining without hesitation.
“I would definitely recommend SCCDAT to any student interested,” Gregory said. “The club is chill, the sponsors are very supportive and you can learn a lot.”
