"I attended your two hour class at (a local police department) a few weeks back.
Last night found two people in a vehicle. They had tons of empty pepto in the car. So I immediately keyed in on that. They also has Kratom in the car.
We ended up finding crystal meth and molly in the car as well but it was definitely the pepto that started Me down a hard investigative path.
Helpful info already paying off. Thank you."

The Northwest Alcohol Conference still has many spots still available for the virtual Youth Track this year. This year's youth track also offers an opportunity for 10 youth coalitions to earn a $500 mini grant for the development and completion of a community project!
Please join us for the presentation: Coping, Connection, and Community presented by nationally acclaimed presenter Nigel Wrangham, in coordination with Billie-Jo Nickens, NoWAC Youth Track Coordinator. COVID-19 has provided the world with a variety of challenges that many of us were not prepared for. In turn, we have seen an increase in unhealthy coping strategies across all age groups, including substance use and abuse. During this time, it is even more important to remember to reach out and make positive connectionswith our family, friends, and our communities. This presentation will work to engage youth coalitions in conversations regarding ways to reach their peers and their communities during this time, ways to expand the reach of their voices and messages, and the importance of service and connection to their communities.
