Through
a combination of providing information and public forums, the Drug Abuse Prevention
Council seeks to implement science-based prevention strategies that focus on increasing
protective factors and decreasing risk factors associated with alcohol and drug
abuse in individuals, families and communities. The
Council is a three-Town cooperative effort, funded by Bedford, Lewisboro and Pound
Ridge with representatives from each Town having membership in the Drug Abuse
Prevention Board. First,
the Council provides information from research about drugs and alcohol, the way
they effect individuals and their families, ways to identify the abuse of drugs
and alcohol, resources for intervention and strategies for prevention. The second
approach to prevention is directed at addressing the primary or underlying causes
of drug abuse.
