In the bout with the methamphetamine epidemic, the Marshall County Bowen Center has stepped into the ring. The plan is to get there before the problem begins. 

By the end of this month, all sixth- or seventh-graders in Marshall County will be taught LifeSkills Training (LST) classes. Implemented in 13 elementary, middle and junior high schools, students will receive four to eight LST sessions throughout the year during resource or study hall time.
