The community's attention has been captured with recent data on kids in Franklin County and their use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Now is the time for everyone in our community to know how they can help.

Parents need to know their child is at risk, and they need to know where they can get help. Schools and prevention professionals need support. Others in the community, including businesses, government, individuals and non-profit groups, need to understand their vital role.
