Why it's STILL not ok 
for your teen to get high

Wednesday, February 19, 2014
9-10:15am at TEAO
Tredyffrin Easttown Administrative Offices 
Still not OK
In light of recent legislation legalizing marijuana in some states, the increased use of marijuana for medical purposes, as well as public use by pop figures...  we will discuss how our adolescents might be getting the wrong message about the danger of smoking marijuana.

 

Contributing to the conversation...

  • Brittany Angelastro - Community Prevention Specialist, The COAD Group
  • Claire Ryan - Prevention Specialist/SAP Liaison, The COAD Group
  • Jacqueline Taylor - Executive Director, The COAD Group
  • Lt. Anthony Giaimo - superintendent of police Tredyffrin Township

We hope you can join us.

The Anonymous People

Anonymous People
THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE is a feature documentary film (88 minutes) about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. This new public recovery movement aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting recovery solutions.
