September is National Alcohol & Drug Recovery Month!

Every year Greenville Family Partnership joins the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and CADCA in the nationwide effort to observe “National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month” in September. This year’s theme is “Join the Voices for Recovery: Now More Than Ever!”

Recovery Month educates the public that recovery from addiction is real and promotes the need for better awareness about addiction and access to treatment. Public understanding of substance use and mental disorders must increase in order to achieve the full potential of prevention and to help people recognize and seek assistance for addiction and/or mental illness with the same urgency as other health conditions. This event celebrates the millions of Americans in recovery who live healthy and productive lives in our communities.

We must all be dedicated to educating others during this time and year-round by helping to spread the message that prevention is best, treatment is effective, and recovery is possible.

THE MISSION OF GREENVILLE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

TO KEEP KIDS OFF TOBACCO, ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND OTHER HARMFUL SUBSTANCES BY EDUCATING AND PARTNERING WITH FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.

What do you think about parents who give medicine to their kids so that they can have some peace and quiet? Do you sympathize with these parents? Have you ever given your child something just to make them go to sleep? Would you ever consider doing this or do you think it’s just plain wrong? We would love to hear your opinion. Tell us about it. Share your opinion and see what others have to say.


Safe from Alcohol, Safe from Drugs, A Safe Social Environment

One of the greatest gifts we can give our kids is a healthy, alcohol and drug free youth.

Greenville Family Partnership (GFP) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to keep kids off tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.  GFP is starting a new program called Safe Homes Parent Network.  

The Safe Homes Parent Network (SHPN) is a parent pledge program that joins parents together to support one another in providing a safer social environment for our youth.  It does not require any extra time, just a commitment to provide an alcohol and drug free environment when hosting youth in your home.  The goal of Safe Homes Parent Network is to link committed parents together through GFP’s website.
