Mission Statement
The NOPE of Hillsborough team works to diminish the frequency and impact of overdose death through community education, family support and purposeful advocacy. We help combat the illegal use of prescription drugs and narcotics, as well as other abused substances. We are helping to stop the epidemic of youth substance abuse via our Student Presentations that are shared in middle schools and high schools.
About This Cause
NOPE of Hillsborough delivers high impact presentations to middle and high school students about the consequences of drug consumption. Our network of members presents purposefully blunt and emotional messages to our county's 100+ schools. The school resource officer shares grim stories of making death notifications to distraught families and parents who've lost children to a drug overdose. The response from students and faculty members has been very positive. Many students have gone to seek guidance for themselves or for their friends after attending our presentations. NOPE of Hillsborough offers interactive presentations to parents and community members. These presentations inform participants about the reality our nation faces regarding substance abuse and overdose deaths. We make sure parents know that their children can be confronted about using drugs anywhere they go; such as school bus stops, in school cafeterias, on a trip to the movie theater with friends, or even on their computer. Our team goes over parenting tips, suggestions, and strategies to combat these drug-related issues. We pinpoint the signs of drug use and the best ways to speak with your child regarding drugs. Parents may ask questions or request to speak privately with one of our members. These presentations can be given in community centers, schools, religious halls, and beyond. In memory of those lost to drug and alcohol-related incidents and with hope for those suffering from the disease of addiction, NOPE of Hillsborough holds an Annual Candle Light Vigil during every Red Ribbon Week. As intended when NOPE National Task Force created the nationwide event in 2007, the NOPE Vigil sheds light on the consequences our nation faces with the use of illegal and illicit drugs. We strive to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease of addiction so that those suffering may openly seek help.
