EP 1.5 - An Ounce of Prevention: Jennifer Matthews & Lisa Cripps with the DeKalb Prevention Coalition
Episode notes
You’ve probably heard the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This week on The Tom Duggin Show with Jordan Atnip, we find out how that idea is being put into action right here in DeKalb County.
Our guests are Jennifer Matthews and Lisa Cripps with the DeKalb Prevention Coalition, and they join Tom & Jordan for a conversation about the Coalition’s mission, the work being done throughout our community, and why prevention, education, awareness, and community involvement can make such a tremendous difference.
What exactly does the DeKalb Prevention Coalition do? Who do they serve? What challenges are they working to address? And how can local residents, parents, schools, businesses, and organizations become part of the effort?
Jennifer and Lisa help answer those questions while giving us a closer look at the people and purpose behind the organization—and why building a healthier, safer community starts long before a problem reaches the crisis stage.
It’s another conversation focused on DeKalb County people doing important work for DeKalb County people.
