CASAC invited the Governor’s Prevention Partnership to present on New Alcohol and Drug Trends |  | |
On May 8, 2012, the Governor’s Prevention Partnership came to CASAC’s office to present on Current Alcohol and Drug Trends. The material ranged from popular drinking games highlighting binge drinking, to activities such as backpacking, eyeballing and current drug trends to include K2 and Salvia use. The presentation prompted many good questions from the approximate 35 people in attendance. Among those present were CASAC’s 16 Local Prevention Council chairpersons, CASAC Board of Directors members, police from various towns and MADD employees.
Four meetings are held annually as part of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) contract. In March, the Local Prevention Councils were trained by MADD on the Power of Parents; It’s Your Influence program, preceded by a networking meeting in December held in Bloomfield, and the Haze documentary movie presention in October in Granby.
We will continue to cover hot topics such as gambling, marijuana, prescription drug, and heroin abuse, and look toward presenting informational meetings for the fiscal 2012-13 year, to include suicide and excessive internet gaming among youth.
