In response to a rise of heroin use in the Chicago suburbs, Rosecrance recently participated in a student seminar at Hinsdale South High School in Darien to help students understand the consequences of drug abuse.
The event was featured in an article published by Sandy Illian Bosch in the Chicago Sun-Times publication The Doings Weekly.
Hinsdale South High School students viewed a video detailing the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse. With summer approaching, the school is presenting anti-drug forums during all physical education classes, encouraging kids to make good, healthy decisions over summer.
