WTF – Winning The Fight is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides drug education, support, and necessary resources to youth and families that suffer from the disease of addiction. We also educate students and community members on the dangers of drugs, especially fentanyl, and overdoses and death associated with these.
We do this through many programs including:
Court Programs-
Winning The Fight works with Denton County Juvenile Court, Flower Mound Municipal Court, and the Lewisville/ Flower Mound Teen Court. The judge often determines that the defendant complete the Winning The Fight program. They go on-line, select the court, and do the program. When completed, it gets submitted to that court indicating completion and the judge/clerk can see what they did.
Class:
Watch 45 minute “Just Once” documentary
Write 3 paragraphs of what they thought about the film.
Watch 45-minute video of Specific Drugs, how they react in the body and possible consequences.
