Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), the National Guard Bureau (NGB) and the Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training Program (MCTFT) have co-sponsored more than 40 broadcasts on varied topics related to substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment. Without the valuable support of NGB and MCTFT, coalitions would not have access to this free, training opportunity. CADCA wishes to thank its partners for their commitment to building safe, healthy, drug-free communities.
The college years are a time for new experiences, exploration and discovery. Unfortunately, they are also a time for experimentation, especially into the world of drugs and alcohol. The name and location of the college or university doesn’t matter, all campuses deal with these kinds of issues.
Sometimes the most difficult part of drug prevention is getting to the people who need the message the most. The faith community can help. Faith brings people together and that’s what anti-drug coalitions need, a way to reach people where they are. During this hour-long CADCA-TV broadcast, learn how the faith community and coalitions can work together to reduce substance abuse. Hear about ideas that are working and how you can adapt them to meet your needs.
Building and maintaining a successful coalition takes a dynamic leader. We see all kinds, from the do-everything boss who must have a hand in all aspects of the coalition to the delegator who hires great people to do the work, and everything in between. How should coalitions get the most from the leaders they have and cultivate the next generation? Succession planning and workforce development do not need to be intimidating. There are resources and tools available to help.
We tell our kids to make good choices and stay drug and alcohol free, but it's difficult when images glorifying drug use are everywhere. Whether it's a movie depicting kids getting high for fun or a commercial showing people enjoying many beers at a backyard barbecue, the images are all over, and rarely show negative consequences. It all makes light of the problem. So how do you counter the drug culture?
