Happy New Year!
Let this new year represent fresh starts and new chances for you and your loved ones.

If you find yourself in a situation where you are questioning whether your friend is in trouble or not- go with your gut and get help if needed.

You will be protected through the Good Samaritan Law.

[Brockton Area Prevention Collaborative @OD_Prevention]

OUI laws are not just for alcohol. Driving under the influence of drugs, including marijuana, is also dangerous and illegal.

Are you planning on hosting New Year's Eve party this year? Make sure you know the Social Host Law and how it could impact you and your youth.

Think twice before hosting and providing alcohol to youth.

It is not as safe as you think it is.
