Case Study: Enhancing Substance Abuse Education Across a School District
Industry and Customer Profile
A school district in the Midwest United States sought to strengthen its substance abuse prevention efforts by integrating engaging and interactive tools into its existing programming. With over 14 schools participating, the district aimed to address substance abuse issues among students and in the community by leveraging Fatal Vision® products to deliver impactful lessons.
