| PARTNERS FOR PREVENTION IN ALLEGANY COUNTY |
| How do I get involved? We will send you a memorandum of understanding where we agree to support one another and to meet kids where they are at, encouraging them to make good decisions, and promote drug free communities. You send it back in and we put your name up on the website. What are we required to do? Start talking & listening just like you already do! You don't have to attend meetings, although you are most welcome! You just have to continue to do what you do so well... connect with your clients, especially young people and parents. Let them know you care about them, and encourage them not to drink or do drugs, not to host underage them in case you run across someone who needs a little more help. You can help point them in the right direction. Be sure to have your facts straight though! Don't pass inaccurate information. Come here to our website and look around...visit other links, and get to know the issues. KNOW YOUR FACTS! Do you know the signs of drug abuse? Do you know the dangers of underage drinking? Do you know the laws regarding social hosting? If your client seems to need help, do you know the local numbers to give them? |
