People Who Make A Difference Awards
NON-VOLUNTEER INDIVIDUAL
*District I-Supervisor John Gioia
Bouakhay Phongboupha initiated the battle against alcohol and other drugs by
establishing the first substance abuse treatment and prevention program for Asian youth
and their families in West Contra Costa County. As a staff for the Asian Pacific
Psychological Services, she demonstrated concern about the alarming trend of
substance abuse among Asian youth. Bouakhay volunteers a significant number of
hours to assist the youth and their families and through her help, many youth have made
positive changes in their lives, improved their grade point averages, school attendance,
maintained sobriety and part time employment.
NON-VOLUNTEER INDIVIDUAL
♦Countywide—Chair of Board of Supervisors
Suzzette Johnson has been extremely active in the field of substance abuse treatment.
She is currently the Program Manager for the Contra Costa County's Born Free
Perinatal Substance Abuse Program which provides services to pregnant and parenting
women. Suzzette Johnson has been a very powerful force in encouraging and guiding
substance abuse counselors, parenting counselors, childcare staff, and clerical support
staff to be understanding of the needs of their clients. She makes a difference by
extending her caring concern to those in the community who need support and guidance
towards a healthy living.
VOLUNTEER INDIVIDUAL
*District III-Supervisor Donna Gerber
Cindy Wheeler- As a member of CASA (Communities Against Substance Abuse) and a
founding member of the San Ramon Valley Advisory Committee on Youth Safety and
Development, Cindy's latest achievements was her involvement with the implementation
of the "Every 15 Minutes" Program at San Ramon Valley High School. Approximately
2000 parents and students attended the two-day event which was well-organized and
over 100 community members were involved in the planning and realization of the event
intended to raise awareness about the consequences of drunk driving.
NON-VOLUNTEER GROUP
*District I-Supervisor John Gioia
Lee Delima and Sheree Howe (Counselors)
TriCities Discovery Program is a County operated program located in Pinole that
provides treatment and prevention services to youth and their families. A significant
increase in the number of youth clients is a result of the energy and dedication of Lee
and Sheree. These two substance abuse counselors have provided school-based
services in West Contra Costa School District for many years, opening the door for early
identification of high-risk youth referred for individual, group and family counseling. One
of the positive outcomes of Lee and Sheree's work is evident in the drug test results of
youth treatment clients, 85% urine tests are negative and the increasing demand for
service requests from school counselors, probation officers, and parents.
NON-VOLUNTEER GROUP
*District V-Supervisor Federal Glover
"Every Fifteen Minutes"Deer Valley High School Planning Group- Tracy Purdy and
Cheryl Domenichelli (Teachers), Fatima M. Matal Sol (Student), and Lois Halls
(Counselor).
Working very diligently for the past year, a team comprised of two teachers, a high
school student and a counselor were instrumental in bringing the "Every 15 Minutes"
Program at Deer Valley High School in Antioch which educates high school juniors and
seniors about the consequences of drinking and driving, alcohol and use, and the
social/economical impact in their families and the community. The group was effective
at bringing together local agencies parents and students to work collaboratively.
