LYFT Building A Community That Cares For Our Youth - The goals of the Coalition are: (1) establish and strengthen collaboration among Pennsbury LYFT's partner organizations in support of the community's effort to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth; and (2) reduce substance abuse among youth in Pennsbury, PA, and, over time, reduce substance abuse among adults by addressing the issues in our community that increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse. The Coalition will achieve its goals by implementing these strategies: (1) Continue to assess students and parents on substance use/abuse to address the four core measures of average age of onset, past 30-day use, perception of parental disapproval, and perception of risk. (2) Implement a multi-community, multi-sector approach targeting reduction of substance abuse and delinquency across all four domains--individual/peer, family, community, and school. (3) Coordinate and collaborate with established partners to obtain and share substance abuse prevention resources and activities within the community. (4) Increase knowledge and access to prevention program services and prevention/intervention information in order to build resources for the community. (5) Reduce underage drinking among youth and address parental attitudes favorable toward this problem behavior through targeted social marketing strategies; plan and implement social norms campaigns; and make available workshops on alcohol and other drug related issues. (6) Increase knowledge of local conditions regarding alcohol and other drug issues and availability while building the capacity to develop and implement social norms campaigns and increase community support of Coalition efforts.
