Georgia Strategic Prevention FrameworkGeorgia

    In Georgia, 21 percent of high schoolers have their first drink before age 13 

    HEARTS for Families is developing a team to reduce alcohol use, access and binge drinking among Georgia's youth. We are partnering with the following types of agencies: government agencies, schools, PTA, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement, coalitions, and faith-based organizations.
     The goal is to work together and administer a needs assessment that will identify community-specific needs. Through strategic planning and implementation, we will create community-level change!
