7.2.c. Drug Free Communities Grant SAMHSA
Presenter:
Jeannine Audette
Rationale:
The Bristol Board of Education is a member of the Bristol Prevention Coalition for a Drug-Free Community (BPC) is excited to announce a $625,000 five-year grant award to prevent youth substance use. Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and administered through the city of Bristol, the federal grant totals $125,000 per year. As a primary resource for substance abuse prevention in the Bristol community, the Coalition’s 2016-2017 Action Plan will address alcohol and marijuana use among sixth through 12th grade Bristol students. Earlier this year, the Coalition decided to focus on these two substances after analyzing current data from school and community surveys and taking into consideration local conditions in the Bristol community. Research that the Coalition gathered during its action planning process as well as a documented increase in drug use in our community made it clear that we have to be proactive and work together with our community partners to keep our youth safe and informed on the dangers of substance abuse. This grant will provide Bristol with the funds to implement programs to bring this issue to the forefront, increase awareness and educate our community on these dangers and as well as collaborate to find effective solutions and interventions. |
