What is ROCMND APRC?
This is the ROCMND Area Prevention Resource Center and you may be asking “What is this about?” ROCMND APRC works in communities to help them stop underage drinking, tobacco use, and drug use. We work closely with coalitions in each of our 7 counties. We have a passion to make our communities safe for our kids to grow up and not undergo the pressures, the trauma, or the negative effects of drug use. We also provide resources to the community, parents, teachers, etc. Use the contact information or click on the county you are from to get specific contact information for that county.
Youth
ROCMND APRC wants to be a support for you and help you through some of the toughest years of your life. We know there are pressures out there and we want to offer you hope. We do many things to bring those of you together that want the same thing, to make their community and schools a great place. We can get you involved with a 2Much2Lose or SWAT (Students Working Against Tobacco) group that has plans that will decrease underage drinking and tobacco use in their neighborhood. These 2M2L and SWAT groups do a number of activities that help them with their endeavor. If you would like more information, just click on the county or use the contact information to the side.
If you are a youth that has a problem with alcohol or other drugs, we can get you hooked up with the services that will help you. You are not alone, there are many youth out there that are in the same boat. Those who use alcohol before age 15 are more than 5 times as likely to report alcohol dependence or abuse compared to people who first used alcohol at age 21 or older. But, there is hope. You can get control back of your life by taking this first step. Please use our contact information to reach us and we will get you the information you need.
Adult
ROCMND APRC wants to be a resource to you. We have information that is free and available to you. All you have to do is contact us. If we don’t have the resource you need, we will find it and try our best to help you be an educated adult in today's fast moving world. Sometimes new things are being introduced to our youth and it is often too late before we as adults, recognize the problem. We want to bring you the resources you need to be a well equipped parent.
