To accomplish its mission, the Board partners with regional and national organizations and works in collaboration with local community coalitions and agencies, neighborhood groups, residents, and consumers. - The Board advocates for services and resources raises awareness about the impact of alcohol and other drugs, and promotes community understanding about the disease of addiction to reduce stigma and garner support. The overarching goal of the Advisory Board is to create a healthy.Contra Costa by eradicating alcohol and other drug abuse and reducing youth access to alcohol.

Thinking Globally: Acting totally Every Spring, the Advisory Board selects three major working priorities for the year which further our mission and goals. This year we focused in the development of a Continuum of Recovery as a tenet to tactically arrange support and after care services for those in . treatment within an under funded system. In addition to treatment"expansiob, creating a plan for continuing collaboration with key groups and organizations, and sustaining the successful implementation of current programs, the gods were primarily attainted through the following strategies:policy monitoring, advocacy,education, building partnerships and collaboration. The development'of a Continuum of Recovery was indeed a daunting task and process at the retreat held. on May 24, 20,01. We spent several hours visualizing a concept in which Recovery is interwoven in the very fabric of the Alcohol and Other Drugs System of Care: For example, carefully strengthening or adding services that are critical ' to prevent someone's -relapse. Similarly, e discussed the integration of our work as a Board in . critical areas of the Continuum,of Recovery as a way to ensure adequate coverage. Changing the Conversation is a concerted effort to j + 'Advocacy _ Iii 2002 we wrote several letters to heighten the voice and the 'needs of substance abuse. We were successful at recommending the change of name of the Substance Abuse Division to Alcohol and Other Drugs Services in an effort to emphasize that alcohol is a drug, and the importance of addressing alcohol related problems in the County. We also wrote a letter to National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) joining a national campaign to remove hard liquor advertisement from television. The national pressure against IBC was so high, that they ultimately decline broadcasting distilled spirits ads on TV.

Thanks to the relationship with ABC, the work of Contra Costa County Healthy Neighborhoods and the support provided by Supervisor John oia's office, we have been able to provide technical assistance to a core group of residents through Evaluation, Management and Training (EMT). Residents of the Richmond area have received 2 tra nings on ABC regulations and are in the process of creating the Alcohol Policy Working Group to operate as gatekeepers and support ABCs enforcement efforts. Furthermore, the beginning steps for removing alcohol licenses from irresponsible merchants has already taken place truly empowering the community, The Youth and Family Committee continued their work with the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities through the identification of their needs. Although a little difficult, each Board member was assigned to contact the coordinators, with a set of questions. 7 c000rdirralors were successfully ,contacted and the dialogue has been established ata more personal level.

This past year we made a list and studied those bills that would enhance our goals or working priorities.

We also continued to support Proposition 36 locally with utmost concern about insufficient or no referrals from West Contra Costa.

There is significant research that supports Cindv Powell that addiction is preventable and treatable, and that youth who are identified earlier have - more chances to succeed in treatment,recover and become productive members of society. At Large Members Mike King Although we know for a fact that for every dollar spent in treatment we save thousands of Peter Midler dollars to the economy of our nation, we are still unable to provide alcohol and other drug Pan y Simons treatment to many individuals.This is not only unethical but it is also inhuman.
