The "I Choose" Project is an easy way to make a difference, be a positive example, and inspire others. Beyond The Bell youth council participated in the National Week Prevention “I choose project”.

Do you want to educate your child about underage drinking? Alcohol is a drug. It is classed as a depressant, meaning it slows down vital functions, resulting in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perceptions and an inability to react quickly. Underage drinking by those under the age of 21 is illegal, affects the developing brain, and can have devastating health, safety and legal consequences. Underage drinking, binge and heavy drinking among 18-25 year olds have been identified in DeKalb County as issues affecting the community. Beyond The Bell, founded and created by Sandra Dean in 2002, along with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and the Governor's Office of Hwy Safety provide programs and strategies to address these issues based on community surveys, data collection and observations.

Bullying can often make a child feel helpless and feel as though they must handle the situation alone. National data shows that adults were only notified of bullying in less than 40% of bullying incidents. When parents, teachers, and other adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can help prevent bullying over time. Bullying can be prevented by talking about it, building a safe environment for youth, and creating community and school-wide bullying prevention plans and consequences.
