UpValley Partnership for Youth (UpValley Asociación para la Juventud)
The UpValley Partnership for Youth is a broad coalition of community stakeholders, including parents, policy makers, law enforcement, service providers, youth, educators, and community members, who work together to address the problem of underage drinking and substance use in our community. The coalition is coordinated by UpValley Family Centers & supported by Napa County Office of Education.
The coalition’s mission: To use the collaborative strength of parents, youth, and community members to prevent and address problems relating to youth alcohol and marijuana use in the UpValley.
Why UpValley: Alcohol and marijuana youth use rates are high when compared to County and State averages. Risks include low parental disapproval, low perception of risk and feelings of chronic sadness. Therefore, there is a need for education and prevention efforts in our community.
How to get involved: Attend a meeting. Monthly coalition meetings alternate between Calistoga and St. Helena. For more information, please contact Indira Lopez-Jones at ilopez@upvalleyfamilycenters.org
UpValley Asociación para la Juventud
La Alianza UpValley para la Juventud es una amplia coalición de actores de la comunidad, incluyendo padres, formuladores de políticas, agentes de la ley, proveedores de servicios, jóvenes, educadores y miembros de la comunidad que trabajan juntos para abordar el problema del consumo de alcohol y consumo de otras substancias en nuestra comunidad. La coalición es coordinada por UpValley Family Centers y apoyada por la Oficina de Educación del Condado de Napa.
La misión de la coalición: Utilizar la fuerza colaborativa de padres, jóvenes y miembros de la comunidad para prevenir y resolver los problemas relacionados con el consumo de alcohol y marihuana en el UpValley.
¿Por qué UpValley? Las tasas de consumo de alcohol y marihuana son altas cuando se comparan con los promedios del Condado y del Estado. Los riesgos incluyen baja desaprobación de los padres, baja percepción del riesgo y sentimientos de tristeza crónica. Por lo tanto, hay una necesidad de educación y esfuerzos de prevención en nuestra comunidad.
Involúcrate: Asista a una reunión. Las reuniones mensuales de la coalición alternan entre Calistoga y Santa Helena. Para más información por favor llámenos al Indira Lopez-Jones a ilopez@upvalleyfamilycenters.org
