Joan Webb Scornaienchi, serving as both Executive Director of HC DrugFree and Howard County's Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator, visited Capitol Hill to speak with Community Anti-Drug Coalition of America's (CADCA) CEO and Chairman Retired Army General Arthur Dean and U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings. Later in the day, Joan and Molly Smith, HC DrugFree's Hispanic Outreach Coordinator, met with aides to Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin to advocate for substance abuse prevention funding. For the second year, HC DrugFree's staff attended the annual CADCA Conference at The Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland to learn new skills to help address substance abuse issues, hear from experts in the field of substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery, and network with approximately 3,000 peers from across the country. HC DrugFree is working hard to bring the best substance abuse prevention practices and research to Howard County.

KNOW where to get free alcohol saliva test strips.
HC DrugFree has been distributing free alcohol saliva test strips at recent programs. One parent commented that her child chose not to host a party because it was made clear that if there was alcohol brought into the home, the test strips would be used and parents would be called. If you have a story you would like to share with us, please email Joan at joan@hcdrugfree.org.
The results of the alcohol saliva test strips will not stand up in court.
