Substance Abuse Task Force
Mission:
The SATF is a multi-disciplinary collaboration designed to promote community awareness, education, prevention and treatment of substance abuse in Oxford Hills. Our key focus population is youth.
Meetings are held monthly at OHCHS from 2:15 to 3:45. Upcoming meeting dates are:
March 26
April 23
May 21
Objectives Include:
-
Increase effectiveness of local underage drinking law enforcement policies and practices.
-
Reduce the appeal of high risk drinking by increasing the knowledge of health risk.
-
Increase recommended parental monitoring practices for underage drinking.
-
Decrease promotions and pricing that encourage high risk drinking among young adults.
The overall strategies of this plan are to move towards this vision - to change the culture and make the use of illict drugs (including alcohol for minors) harder and less socially acceptable.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend - join us for our next meeting! Contact our program coordinator for details.
