Youth substance abuse prevention group formed in Hudson
Hudson - Students, teachers, parents, policemen, and other concerned residents have joined the Hudson Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, sponsored by the Hudson Board of Health. These community partners are committed to reverse the current trend of increasing adolescent substance use in Hudson that was revealed in the 2010 MetroWest Adolescent Health Survey.
The coalition was formed shortly after the town of Hudson received a three-year, $180,000 grant from the MetroWest Foundation.
"Substance abuse, including over-the-counter, prescription, and "street" drugs, is a major public health concern in this country," Pat Emmons, a Hudson High School nurse and chair of the Hudson Board of Health, said. "Hudson is not immune to this problem. I work with a population at high risk on a daily basis and have seen the impact of these behaviors on our most vulnerable citizens. By reaching out to community leaders of all ages, we hope that the coalition can send a clear, united message that Hudson cares."
