Parental Spring Fling - How to School your Kids and Teens at Home 
about Alcohol and other Trends

Tuesday, April 3, 2007 7:15-9:00PM @ CCHS Auditorium

Spring is here and with spring comes the end of the school year 
parties, celebrations and proms. In our towns, our young people may 
seek to enhance these experiences by taking some form of a 
recreational substance (alcohol, marijuana, club drugs, heroin).

The Concord Carlisle Parents Initiative is offering this popular 
presentation again to teach strategies to parents about teen alcohol 
use. The presentation will include how and why it's important to 
postpone and intervene and how parents may intentionally influence 
their kids decisions about use from a very early age and into young adulthood.

Renee Soulis, a Senior Prevention Specialist from FCD Educational 
Services is coming back by popular demand to present research about 
use and our kids. She will discuss the effects on teenage brains, the 
sequence of initiation into and progression of use, the social and 
cultural pressures students are likely to face in high school and 
college, and offer strategies to parents for the prevention, 
postponement and intervention of use.

Kathy Bowen the Concord Public School and Concord Carlisle Regional 
School District K-12 Health Curriculum Specialist will present the 
incidence of use in Concord and Carlisle as 6th-12th graders reported 
on the Spring 2006 Youth at Risk Behavior Survey.

This Program is funded through the Northwest Suburban Health 
Alliance/CHNA 15 DoN funds through Lahey Clinic.
