SBY Awarded Drug Prevention Contract
1st of March 2008
Alcohol and other drug abuse represents a formidable public health problem throughout the city, and particularly among youth and families in east-side neighborhoods where we focus most of our work. So we are excited by our success in an application competition conducted by DC’s Addiction Prevention and Recovery Administration.
Comprehensive, nonjudgmental knowledge about substances and their effects is the best way to prevent their abuse. SBY’s Zocalo Outreach Program will use its time-tested home-based counseling approach to educate young people at highest risk for drug use and to promote drug refusal skills, improved family communication and school success.
