WHAT IS PREVENTION?

• Education

• Training

• Sharing

• Caring

• Teaching

• Saving Lives

• Believing

It's work that often goes unrecognized, that doesn't make the headlines, that takes time...  It's work that makes a difference.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:

• Alcohol kills 6.5 times more youth than other illicit drugs combines.

• Marijuana is by far the most widely used illegal drug among teens.

• Each day more than 3,000 kids begin smoking.  Teens who smoke are 3 times more likely to use alcohol, 8 times more likely to use marijuana and 22 times more likely to use cocaine.

• The use of "CLUB DRUGS", particularly ecstasy, has increased over 71% among teens in the last year.

• Even one hit of cocaine or crack can be fatal.  Even first-time users may experience seizure or heart attacks.

Heroin Kills!

• Tobacco, alcohol and marijuana are gateway drugs that often lead to other forms of drug addiction.

• More than 10,000 12-to-13 year olds binge drink every month.

• Kids today report that getting alcohol, tobacco and most illicit drugs is very easy.  Just ask them.
