Our organization is offering more online tools at the request of families and community partners, including our new Video Learning Center.During 2011, DrugFreeAz.org and our Community Alliance Program serviced more than 4,500 families or 12,303 parents and youth across the state through in-person drug and alcohol education programs and new online tools at www.DrugFreeAZ.org. More than 23,000 pieces of educational literature were distributed. Community Alliance members included representatives from the following rural regions/counties: Apache, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Mohave, Navajo, Yavapai, Yuma, Maricopa and Pima. Trainings and presentations are conducted at community events, schools, workplaces, and organizations. We also provide trainings for law enforcement and military families.Through the 3moms/Parent Partners project, volunteer moms serve on our speaker's bureau to educate parents and urge them to share information with three other moms and so on to help prevent youth substance use. Staff and volunteers participated in 34 media interviews. Media reported $435,578 in donated public service advertising support focused on preventing youth drug use. Use of social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter enable us to reach more families than ever before.
