OF
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Honoring
NEW CONNECTIONS on the Occasion RESOLUTION NO. 92/510
of Its 20th Anniversary
In 1972, the El Sobrante Valley Activities Center opened with an
innovative program of providing teens with substance abuse problems
with alternative, drug-free activities. Today, after its 1982 name
change, New Connections has grown with the community and the depth
of our society's substance abuse problems to provide a full range
of prevention, counseling, and treatment for not only teens but
adults and families as well.
New Connections' 20 years of success has impacted some 150,000
Contra Costa County residents and has been recognized locally and
nationally for its outstanding programs and services. The ideology
used is to work with the entire family unit to help them strengthen
family bonds and improve communication. New Connections also works
intensively with adults suffering from chemical dependency through
a six month outpatient program that helps them regain a clean and
sober life.
We are very grateful to New Connections for giving the citizens of
Contra Costa County the services necessary to live a drug-free
life. New Connections is a vital tool in our community's "War on
Drugs, " and we commend everyone involved in the organization for
their participation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of supervisors honors
NEW CONNECTIONS on the occasion of its 20th anniversary and wishes
the agency continued success.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON August 4, 1992, by a unanimous vote of the
