Coalition Meeting Wednesday October 20, 2021 7:30 pm Virtual Meeting

In Conjunction with the National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month Saving Lives Five Towns Coalition Is Announcing Our Prescription Drug Community Awareness Campaign Put A LID On It Lock, Inventory, Dispose

Our goal as a Community Coalition is to create strategies for creating family, school and community environments that promote and support healthy decision making by our youth. Translating these goals into on-the-ground strategies means creating interventions that:

Impact the availability of prescription drugs. Change community norms around prescription and over the counter drug misuse and addiction. Reinforce the importance of policies and practices that can prevent Rx drug misuse.

Thank you to our Coalition for all your collaborative efforts, ongoing commitment and support for the welfare of the youth in our community.

We are here to ensure you have the information, resources and support you need. If you know or suspect your child or teen may be misusing substances, have addictive behavior or may be having mental health issues, please reach out to: Susan Blauner, Director Substance Abuse Prevention, Awareness and Education 516.569.6733 susan.blauner@guraljcc.org savinglives5townscoalition.org
