·Adolescent Anger & Substance Abuse: Clinical Interventions
Holidays are supposed to be happy, but for many adolescents and adults holidays become more stressful because of anger and substance abuse. This clinical conference for professionals will provide individual, family and group strategies that can be used to intervene with adolescents to prevent and reduce anger based behavior and substance abuse.

·Prom Fashion Show
Each year, students are invited to participate in the Prom Fashion Show, which is sponsored by local businesses, Westchester County STOP-DWI, and local radio stations.  The event draws enthusiastic crowds of students who want to show their support for preventing drinking and driving.  Student models are selected based on their commitment to prevention, demonstrated by their activities in school and the community.

The event, which precedes the prom season, is designed to provide a fun, drug-free activity and to reinforce the importance of safety during the prom season and throughout the year.
