Be Aware Blount Prevention & Wellness Coalition is focused on ending substance misuse and overdose in Blount County. This is an incredible community to live and work in, but no community is immune from the difficulties of substance misuse.

We provide substance misuse prevention education to students, individuals, and families in a multitude of ways, such as:

Education in all three school districts
School faculty and staff education
Community-wide parent trainings
Monthly Community Coalition Meetings
Leading our Blount County Student Wellness Coalition of student leaders
Teaching Rx safety to seniors
Drug Take Back Day events twice a year
And More...

November 20, at Vienna Coffee Company in Downtown Maryville, from 7am-12pm, is our Mugs Not Drugs event. If you make a gift to Be Aware Blount of at least $25 that morning, you will get a mug of your choice, and free drip coffee (courtesy of Vienna).

Buy a mug, drink great coffee, and help us build more capacity to do this work in Blount County to end substance misuse and overdose.
