| PARTNERS FOR PREVENTION IN ALLEGANY COUNTY |
| How do I get involved? We will send you a memorandum of understanding where we agree to support one another and to meet kids where they are at, encouraging them to make good decisions, and promote drug free communities. You send it back in and we put your name up on the website. What are we required to do? Start talking & listening just like you already do! You don't have to attend meetings, although you are most welcome! You just have to continue to do what you do so well... connect with your clients, especially young people and parents. Let them know you care about them, and encourage them not to drink or do drugs, not to host underage drinking parties, and offer pamphlets with resources on them in case you run across someone who needs a little more help. You can help point them in the right direction. Be sure to have your facts straight though! Don't pass inaccurate information. Come here to our website and look around...visit other links, and get to know the issues. KNOW YOUR FACTS! Do you know the signs of drug abuse? Do you know the dangers of underage drinking? Do you know the laws regarding social hosting? If your client seems to need help, do you know the local numbers to give them? Is there a cost to be involved? Nope, it's free, but there are huge rewards! You get to make a difference in the lives of young people, possibly even saving their life. Your business or your name will be placed upon the website here, and will be highlighted as an official partner of PPAC and the Hairdressers Alliance for Youth! We will connect future clients right to you! |

| What materials do I need? PPAC will send you pamphlets, resource lists, and awareness stuff in the month of March to get ready for Prom and Graduation season, when teens and young people are starting to think about getting outside, going to parties and proms. You set materials out for your clients, making them easily accessible. Let them know you are an active partner! How do I get started? Download the MOU, and email it to Shawnee Bigelow at sbigelow@alleganycouncil.org. Or you can give Shawnee a call directly at 585.593.1920 x721. And then start gathering your business partners and employees together in March and have a special meeting about this initiative. Get your employees on board, so that everyone is showing a positive united front! |
