Sumario:Regional Prevention Centers in Massachusetts established a “training of trainers” model to help communities prevent youth from the early use of alcohol and other drugs. The curriculum, called “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child”, teaches interested adults about prevention, empowers them to be positive role models, and helps them teach children skills that will strengthen resistance to alcohol and other drugs. The success of the program lies in its egalitarian climate for learning, its adaptability to different problems and populations, and its enhancement of communities' sense of responsibility for all children.
