Identify some of the issues that FACE has addressed in training. Certain universal issues come up in urban, suburban, and rural communities we have worked in. FACE trainings are most dynamic and productive when they are made up of people who have an interest in reducing alcohol-related issues at the local level, combined with people who have the power or connections to make things happen. They are not always the same people. We have found that the greatest potential for change occurs when people who are in a position to facilitate change are sitting at the table along with concerned citizens.
FACE lays a foundation for potential positive outcomes.
Communities have the hard work of making them happen. Communities have worked with bar owners and newspapers to establish advertising guidelines. Hotel networks have been established to intervene on underage youth attempting to rent rooms for parties. Local ordinances have been passed to impact youth access and use. These have been the result of collaborations between local law enforcement, probate court, school districts and parents.
