Throughout Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Awareness Month in Howard County, HC DrugFree will provide drug and alcohol information, invite you to our programs, and continue to serve as the voice of drug and alcohol prevention and education in Howard County. Please help spread the word and keep youth drug and alcohol free; forward our newsletters to friends and community members.
If there is a topic you would like to see included in our newsletters or if you have questions concerning youth substance abuse, please contact me at Joan@hcdrugfree.org. In future newsletters, local professionals will provide some possible guidance. Unless otherwise agreed, you will remain anonymous. The purpose of the Q&A is to generate discussion about legal/medical topics based on hypothetical scenarios and is not to be construed as legal/medical advice, as these must be analyzed on a case by case basis.
As we proudly display our partners this month, we will keep "You", the members of the Howard County community, on our list. We can't do what we do without you and we thank you for your continued support. I look forward to receiving your questions and working with you. Knowledge is power, so Just Say KNOW!
Joan Webb Scornaienchi Executive Director, HC DrugFree Howard County Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator
