Live from the 2009 MAPSA Convention!

The Maine Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention (MAPSA) is holding its annual prevention convention in Bangor, Maine and Portland Prevention was there! This year's convention is entitled "Powerful Prevention For ME" and is the state’s premier convention focused on issues that address substance abuse prevention in our communities.

The morning's keynote speaker, Kim Laraby from ETHOS Marketing, was fantastic and talked a lot about the how and the why of coalition "storytelling."

Frank Lyons of BC Consulting updated the audience on upcoming changes to Maine's Liquor Law & Enforcement and how coalitions can continue to support the efforts of law enforcement officials in their efforts to prevent underage drinking.

Workshop & breakout sessions topics:
*Using Program Evaluation to Improve and Help Sustain Prevention Programs (Day One)
*Mixing Substances and Inhalant Abuse (NNE Poison Control)
*Prescription Monitoring Program and One County’s Success (PMP/ MaineGeneral)
*Drug Endangered Children: Critical Collaborations (DHHS / MDEA)
*and MORE!
