What We Do

Topshelf ABC Training

DeKalb Prevention Coalition offers TopShelf responsible beverage service training to establishments or individual servers. TopShelf is a State of Tennessee approved training program.

Opioid Overdose Training

Naloxone (or NarcanTM) is a proven tool in the battle against drug misuse and overdose death. When too much of an opioid medication is taken, it can slow breathing to a dangerously low rate. 

Medication Lock Boxes

More than 60,000 young children end up in emergency rooms each year because they got into medicines while their caregiver wasn’t looking.
