Amber Ramirez & The CHP's "Every 15 Minutes" Program for High Schools

Recently I participated in the CHP's "Every 15 Minutes" Program.  This program brings together a broad coalition of interested local agencies with the goal of reducing alcohol related incidents among youth.  The partnering of the California Highway Patrol, local law enforcement, local hospitals, emergency medical responders, schools, businesses, and service clubs validates the importance of working together to ensure a healthy community.

The two-day "Every 15 Minutes" program is very dramatic and emotional - and purposely so.  This program is designed to create an awareness among students that they are not invincible.  This program helps open the emotional doors, and it addresses a problem most teens do not know exist.  They experience first hand how their actions affect the lives of so many other people.
