2008-09 Focus:

Underage Drinking Awareness & Prevention



The Parent to Parent Network’s (P2PN) educational focus for the 2008-09 school year is Underage Drinking Awareness and Prevention (UDAP). The P2PN has asked its affiliates from 20 different communities in Lorain, Cuyahoga and Geauga counties to collaborate on alcohol prevention and awareness programming throughout 2008-09. The opening (September 2008) and closing (April 2009) events feature six days and evenings filled with multiple programs for students, teachers, parents, community members, school professionals and alcohol and drug treatment professionals. Sandwiched between these events over the 8-month period are individual community-based programs.

Suicide Prevention Education Alliance:
The Suicide Prevention Education Alliance Into the Light™ Walk is now behind us and we are happy to report that it was a success by several different measures.
We saw more than 950 walkers turn out on Sunday evening, September 28, 2008.
We raised awareness of depression and suicide prevention and our speakers highlighted risky adolescent behaviors, the Code of Silence and dual diagnosis.
We also raised funds to support our signature classroom program, “Recognizing Adolescent Depression and Suicide Prevention.”

I am attaching a photo of the Bay High School Walk Team. They took 1st place among the school walk teams!
Thank you!

Your Teen We are thrilled to announce the premier issue of Your Teen magazine for parents. It is not a coincidence that these words mimic the birth announcements of our children. The idea to launch this magazine was birthed a few years ago by a group of moms. We wanted a parenting magazine providing advice and guidance to the parents of teenagers. The idea engendered bold enthusiasm and strong empathy. There were many “Oh, I desperately need that”, “I feel like I am drowning” and “I thought I was alone”. <Link to Magazine> <Media Kit>
