11/19/13 - A new Livingston County Community Alliance subcommittee focusing on getting parents to help fight drugs in the community will hold its first meeting tomorrow. Parents as Partners in Prevention, or P3, was formerly part of a standalone coalition but was recently integrated into the LCCA. It will focus on skills that parents should develop and what they should be doing to keep their children drug-free. However, it is open to any adult that wants to help fight youth drug addiction, not just those with children. LCCA Coordinator Kaitlin Fink tells WHMI this is because while the subcommittee will instruct its members in how to prevent drug abuse in their children, it will have a strong focus on being active in the community. Its members will be involved in planning campaigns and seminars, raising awareness, and other efforts to encourage a drug-free community. The first meeting of the new subcommittee will take place tomorrow at 6:30pm at Livingston County Catholic Charities in Howell. Those interested in more information can call Kaitlin Fink at (517) 545-5944. (TD)
