Ledyard Prevention Coalition Plans Summer Outreach

From the Ledyard Prevention Coalition:

Radio Campaign: Breaking the Chains of Addiction, You can too!

We have three real life stories about addiction to run as a radio campaign during July and August on WBMW. We need at least two more people to tell their stories. Estelle will create a PSA to recruit more storytellers.

Training Session

LPC and GASP will partner to sponsor and all-day training session for all coalition members with Theresa Bishop from CADCA, “Key Essentials to Affect Community Change” on October 12 or 13, 2016. Please click the link to the poll to cast your vote as to which day would be better for you.
