Empowering
youth to be alcohol- and drug-free
Dubois County, we need your voice!
CARES is conducting Needs Assessments to better understand the challenges youth are facing related to alcohol and drug use and to identify where prevention and support efforts need to strengthen. As our programs continue to grow, we want to be sure we are focusing on what truly matters in our community.
If you are a parent, educator, community member, healthcare provider, or local leader, please take 5–7 minutes to share your perspective in our Community Needs assessment.
Students, we’d like you to share what you think in our Student Feedback assessment.
QR codes for both are below.
Your feedback will directly shape future CARES programming. Thank you for your help.

Our four area schools are a great resource for our journey to being alcohol- and drug-free. The pulse of our youth can be found hustling from class to class, forming relationships and viewpoints with friends and teachers. CARES clubs provide countless fun activities and skill-building and in turn build resistance to substance abuse.
