RALI Cares Virtual Experience Educates Parents On Substance Abuse Warning Signs

Code 3 was founded in 2015 to foster mutual trust and collaboration among police departments and the communities they serve. With decades of experience in law enforcement and community affairs, we serve as connectors between cops and citizens, breaking down barriers and creating new opportunities to advance solutions to local challenges.

“Regionally Speaking” host Chris Nolte recently spoke with Joe Abdalla, the Executive Director of Code 3, about the new RALI CARES virtual platform to help educate parents on warning signs of substance abuse as well as offer tips on things to look for. 

For the last year, the RALI CARES educational program --- created in partnership with the nonprofit organization Code 3 Association (Code 3) and the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative (RALI) --- has been touring the country via a mobile unit called the RALI CARES trailer. The hands-on exhibit, staged as a teenager’s room, was created by experts and former law enforcement officers to help educate local leaders, parents, and caregivers about possible warning signs of drug use and/or misuse, pointing out hidden red flags that most would overlook as common household items.

You can access the RALI CARES Virtual Experience by visitingraliusa.org and clicking on “RALI CARES.”(Due to the sensitive nature of some of the information, you must be at least 21 years old to access the platform.)

Lakeshore Public Radio 89.1FM, initially known as The Lakeshore 89.1FM, first hit the airwaves across Northwest Indiana on January 19, 2010. The station was created after the board of directors for Lakeshore Public Media, which also operates our sister station Lakeshore PBS, saw the need for regional access to a public radio station in order to provide localized up-to-the-minute news and information for NW Indiana residents.
