As we all know, 2020 has been a struggle for most of us.  It has literally been life changing, whether it has affected you short-term or forever, we are all feeling the impact.  With that being said, for the safety of all, TxDOT has placed us under a travel restriction, which means no in-person training until further instructed. 

As a way to continue to provide our training to you, the FRIDAY Program is now offering our ADAPT (Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Training) courses online.  Our free courses are available to all Texas Law Enforcement, Court Personnel, School Personnel, Social Workers, Juvenile Justice Workers, and Coalition & Community Groups.  The mission of the FRIDAY (Focus on Reducing Impaired Driving Among Youth) program is to empower local leaders by providing them with the knowledge needed to help reduce underage impaired driving and substance use in Texas.
