9/4/14 - The public is invited to help the Livingston County Community Alliance review and select drug abuse prevention strategies at a meeting next week. The LCCA has been meeting with residents, law enforcement, educators, media, and other anti-drug organizations for months with the goal of developing a single drug abuse prevention plan that could help coordinate efforts of different agencies county-wide. Participants have been helping determine what kind of problems are faced locally, what is causing them, and how they can be addressed. Using that information, the LCCA has identified several prevention programs that could be implemented locally. A meeting on Tuesday at St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell will focus on those plans and their various components. Attendees will be asked to weigh the pros and cons of each, whether they will meet all of the needs of the county, whether they could feasibly be carried out by local organizations, and how they could be funded.
