The primary mission of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Education Services is to promote public health by preventing drug and alcohol abuse in young people in Anne Arundel County.

• Presentations, Trainings and Exhibits are provided to county schools, after-school programs, community groups, faith-based programs and parent groups. Prevention and Education Services seeks to increase awareness of the nature and extent of the drug and alcohol abuse and violence in the county. The program provides information to increase awareness of the risk associated with alcohol and drug use.



• The Community Grants Program awards community-based grants to organizations seeking to implement evidence-based model programs that promote alcohol and other drug and violence prevention strategies. [See the community grant application for FY09] (in Adobe PDF format)



• The Strengthening Families Program is a 14-session program for parents and their children ages 6-11. The evidence-based program provides training in parenting; children's social and life skills; and family relationship skills. View the brochure.
