Through a combination of providing information and public forums, the Drug Abuse Prevention Council seeks to implement science-based prevention strategies that focus on increasing protective factors and decreasing risk factors associated with alcohol and drug abuse in individuals, families and communities.

The Council is a three-Town cooperative effort, funded by Bedford, Lewisboro and Pound Ridge with representatives from each Town having membership in the Drug Abuse Prevention Board.

First, the Council provides information from research about drugs and alcohol, the way they effect individuals and their families, ways to identify the abuse of drugs and alcohol, resources for intervention and strategies for prevention. The second approach to prevention is directed at addressing the primary or underlying causes of drug abuse.

Current Members:
