Emergency Nurses Cancel Alcohol Related Emergencies (EN CARE) is a program recommended for junior and high school students. This 45-minute presentation focuses on the risks of drinking and driving. It is presented by emergency nurses who almost daily see the consequences of drinking and driving. The program is available to schools, church groups, and other organizations. TAKE CARE is a program covering several topics: how alcohol affects people as they grow older; how alcohol interacts with drugs, including prescription drugs; and how to take medications safely. Also included is safety information, especially pedestrian and motor vehicle safety, and strong encouragement to ALWAYS wear safety belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
