</b></font>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). On <b>Tuesday,
April 3, from 7:15 to 9 p.m. in the CCHS auditorium</b>, the Concord
Carlisle Parent Initiative (CCPI) is offering a popular presentation 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 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 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.</div>
