Welcome!

The Jackson County Anti Drug Coalition created this blog to keep coalition members and community residents up to date on our happenings! Our coalition is working to decrease alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalant, and prescription drug abuse among our teens, as well as adults. We have lost one too many of our children to substance abuse - it is time to make a change!



We hope you will join us the first Monday of each Month at the City building in Ripley for our coalition meetings. The youth meeting begins at 5pm and general coalition at 6pm. We will see you then!

When hosting a Party...

When hosting a Party take into consideration people that have alcohol addiction, if you do plan on serving alcohol remember to also have plenty of other non alcoholic beverage options, and avoid food that has any type of alcohol in them such as "rum balls"
