READY Coalition PARENT VOICES NEEDED

The is working with the Arlington community to reduce or eliminate teen drug and alcohol use. Parents have a huge role to play in prevention and a great deal of experience and expertise to share with each other and the community. If you can spare 90 minute a month, you can help the Parent Awareness Committee develop some "real-life" practical ideas to help parents support each other and their children through these teen years.
