PORTSMOUTH PREVENTION COALITION

Portsmouth, Rhode Island

 

 

 

The Portsmouth Prevention Coalition would like to highlight two recently created websites.  Our neighboring towns, Newport and Middletown, with funding from  SAMHSA and CSAP grants, created a website with a wealth of information about underage drinking for parents, educators, youth and the community in general.

 

Please visit: www.stopkidsdrinking.com

 

 

The Portsmouth Coalition would also like to highlight a website created for us by four students at Portsmouth High School.  These students focused their website on information about substance abuse prevention that they felt would be most relevant for other high school students.  These students researched places to go for help, side effects of substances, statistics on substance abuse and current issues facing our coalition.

 

Our Coalition members would like to thank each of these students for their efforts: Nick Dupre, Hayden Schaeffer, Amanda Stuckey and Skyler Williams-Hamilton.
