Helping Our Community
Live a Drug & Alcohol Free Life.

Our Vision

A safe and healthy North Rockland community where our youth and families are free of tobacco, alcohol and other drug use.

Our Mission

Our goal is to engage, educate and empower our youth, parents, and community to prevent and reduce tobacco, alcohol and other drug use among our youth and young adults. The coalition will create an environment that supports making healthy lifestyle decisions that inspire one’s future.

Get Involved

For more information on how you can support our youth complete the form below.

    Students

    Are you a young person who has an interest in helping out your friends? You are not too young to make a difference, in fact you are the #1 expert on being a teenager right now!

    Parents

    Parents are a critical component of every coalition. You are the expert on your own teen so get involved in the coalition by attending a meeting or join our e-mail list to receive information

    Teachers

    Teachers are an important part of educating our teens about drugs. Help us to keep young people talking and thinking about avoiding these destructive substances.

    Local Business

    Help support our youth by sponsoring an event, donate services or time, be an active part of the solution and show the community you care.

    Teams

    Athletic coaches have a special relationship with their athletes. You are role models so when you talk to your players and students about the dangers of drugs, the message is more effective because “Coach” is behind those words.

    Community

    Anyone who has an interest in protecting our teens are welcome to join us. You can help with a particular strategy, activity or attend meetings and workshops.

    “Talk to Your Kids”

    • If a teen is caught with drugs, or even suspected of using them, addiction experts recommend parents don't wait to act. Some people quit using drugs after their teen years, but research shows the younger people are when they try drugs, the more likely they are to end up as addicts.

    • Intervening earlier battles addiction better, and may even prevent it. We recommend parents talk with children before they have the opportunity to use drugs or alcohol. Studies show that could be long before a teen reaches high school.

    • While parents try to set a good example, experts say don't be afraid to point out the real-world consequences of addiction.
