Communities Together Success: A Prevention Education Fair was held within the Partners After School Program in Oakland. Capacity building was a success with all after-school staff and Garrett County Public Schools (GCPS) administrative bodies. A pre-survey was developed and administered to assess parents’ knowledge of risk and protective factors.The Prevention Coordinator, James Michaels, worked with Community Outreach Workers(COW) to provide them with educational materials to educate parents on current drug trends and risk and protective factors in prevention. Planning for the event entailed a selection of speakers to include prevention professionals trained in various drug prevention topics (James Michaels-Prevention, Deputy Casey- Law Enforcement, Sam Moon- EMT, and Megan Knepp- Community School Specialist ). Vendors hosting booths at the Prevention Education Fairs provided resource and service information, informing the families of services available addressing the social determinants of health, and educating on protective factors, especially those for parent-child connectedness. Members of the GCPS and the local BHA staff were invited to attend. Parents were allowed to ask questions or speak openly about the challenges and successes of parenting and other issues.

Q1 Narrative Successes: Through the efforts SUBG staff 9 new partnerships were established with Deep Creek Farmers Market, Friendsville Days Planning Committee, Friendsville Elementary School PTO, Garrett Arts Council, Health Education and Outreach(Staff), Little Yough Family Flicks, and the MD Food Bank. 13 existing partners continued to support the Communities Together preventing underage drinking messaging. Underage Drinking Prevention/Community-Based Process/Strategic Prevention Framework training was completed with Health Education and Outreach Staff, Participants of a TIPS for concession training, and community members at the Friendsville Fire Hall during a back-to-school kick-off event. Healthy Families served 54 families this quarter and planning for training of their clients on ATOD topics has been set to happen in Q2. CHALLENGES: Since our funding is yet to be approved staff have not been able to support events and community activities where underage drinking prevention messages could be shared. This has also slowed down planning for future events in Quarter 2.
