In 1981, two recovered alcoholics recognized the need for a prevention program. They maintain the focus of our society. The Key to Prevention. Historically, the problems of alcoholism and addiction have been dealt with after the fact. In reality, intervention can take place long before a young person ever takes a drink or uses a drug.
Education makes a difference.
The ideal is to reach everyone from youngsters to seniors. Goals and Objectives in the 90's Expand our already excellent lending library into a superior collection of substance abuse recovery materials available to professionals and the general public at no cost. Promote the education of North Island Communities around issues of substance use and recovery via newspaper articles, literature and pamphlet displays. Develop in active cooperation with the Campbell River School District new materials and approaches to substance abuse prevention and early intervention. Target this new programming to schools within the entire area of our mandate-the Tsable River North.
