The ROADD program work closely with other SAS programs to educate parents about their role in keeping youth safe. One collaborative effort has been the Youth to Youth movement which brings together alcohol and drug free teens to share ideas and provide support. ROADD also partners with the Westchester Coalition for Drug and Alcohol Free Youth. Together, they have created some excellent Public Service Announcement with strong prevention messages
