- Prevention begins... when communities care
|
| |
|
Communities come in all shapes, sizes and types. Each
community whether it be a city, county, or neighborhood
has its own unique and special strengths. The RPC provides
training, consultation and technical assistance built upon
the idea that alcohol, tobacco and other drug problems can
best be solved through a community approach. All systems
need to work in a collaborative effort to identify
problems and utilize resources in creating a workable
prevention plan.

The Regional Prevention Center provides opportunities for
youth to become actively involved in prevention activities
in their schools and communities through Teen Leadership,
Youth Advisory Council, Peer Empowerment, Drug Free Clubs,
and other youth projects.

- Prevention for all populations...
|

|
Prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug problems is
not limited to youth alone. The RPC provides prevention
programming for parents, college students, the elderly,
impactors of youth and the workplace.

The Kentucky Agency
for Substance Abuse Policy was created in the 2000 General
Assembly to promote the reduction of alcohol, tobacco and
other drug use through the implementation of comprehensive
research-based strategies. These strategies are created
from local boards in each county (or groups of counties)
and address each community's needs while fully utilizing
existing resources and securing new resources for future
efforts.
For more information on KY-ASAP contact
the RPC at 1-866-213-8739 or the State KyASAP office at
