Drug Awareness and Wright County Drug Update

This week we welcome Lori Blaukat, the new director of Wright County's drug awareness and education initiative.  The Wright County, Minnesota MEADA (Mentorship, Education and Drug Awareness ~ formerly Methamphetamine, Education, and Drug Awareness) Coalition was formed in 2004 when community and county partners joined forces to help address the local methamphetamine epidemic. As stricter regulations were placed on products needed to produce methamphetamine and law enforcement cracked down on meth labs, the Coalition’s focus broadened to include awareness of other substances and also increased focus on mentoring programs for youth.
