[CCHS] Parent Presentation

[Art Dulong]

Good Morning to all,

	Below you will find a notice advertising a presentation for parents
around teen alcohol use. The Alliance for Teen Safety, the CCPI, and the
community at large has been working together to deal with this issue. I
hope you will find time to work this program into your calendar. This same
group, Freedom from Chemical Dependency, will be working with the staff of
the Concord Middle School and CCHS today. They are experienced,
knowledgable, realistic, and excellent presenters. I think you would find
the evening informative and interesting.

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

On Monday, April 10, 2006 7:30-9:30p in the CCHS Auditorium CCPI and the
Alliance for Teen Safety will present - 
 
Social Studies, Chemistry and Guidance that will prevent your kids from
becoming History.
     Strategies for parents about teen alcohol use.  How and why it's
important to postpone and intervene. 
 
Renee Soulis, a Senior Prevention Specialist from FCD Educational
Services will present research about use and its effects on teenage
brains, the sequence of initiation into and progression of use, the
social and cultural pressures students are likely to face at CCHS and in
college, and offer strategies to parents for the prevention,
postponement and intervention of use. 

Kathy Bowen the CPS & CCRSD K-12 Health Curriculum Specialist
will present the incidence of use in our towns as reported on the 2004
YRBS.  

Barbara Howland the Director of the Alliance for Teen Safety will present
some of the community initiatives currently in place and those planned
for our towns to address use.
 
Come join us for this important and informative evening.  Suggested
donation $8/person $15/couple.
