This Just InMaking alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs irrelevant in the lives of youth.

2009 Regional Forums –
Why focus on underage alcohol and tobacco use?

Thank you to everyone who continues to participate in the Regional Forums. We have hundreds of attendees that are coming together to focus on how we can work together to prevent youth substance abuse. We hope you to see you at one of the 2010 Regional Forums as we all persist in our efforts to create community change to protect our youth.

A special thanks goes out to everyone that helped plan and execute the Forums. Your efforts were instrumental in making the 2009 Regional Forums a success!
