Red Ribbon Week in RISD

Red Ribbon Week graphic - Life is a puzzle, solve it drug free

Red Ribbon Week is a national effort to raise awareness among students and families about the dangers of substance abuse. RISD Counseling and Prevention Services has developed information and activities in support of Red Ribbon Week, which occurs from Oct. 27 – Oct 31.

This year, the national theme is “Life Is A Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free.™“. This powerful theme symbolizes how every choice we make fits into the bigger picture—just like a puzzle coming together. Living drug-free helps build a stronger, brighter future, one piece at a time.

Check with your campus for details on how your school is celebrating.
