"The programming that CPC provides is extremely valuable in this area where services are not otherwise readily available. The attitude and energy of the staff at CPC makes it easy to create inter-agency relationships that support children and their well-being."
Erika Alusic-Bingham, Southern NH Services
"CPC has maintained a positive reputation of being a leader in addressing substance abuse prevention in Southern New Hampshire. Unfortunately, their work is not complete and efforts must continue to be supported."
Chief Martin Dunn, Jaffrey Police Department
"Because the high school needs to remain an educational system rather than a human service agency, we need collaboration with our larger communities to meet the challenges of today's adolescents. . . I believe the Alternatives program offered through CPC addresses this need."
Susan Dell, Principal, ConVal High School
"We feel that a Teen Center would be a wonderful resource for our community and that CPC's media campaign and various programs go a long way in educating the community to the dangers of substance abuse. We at Brookwood Capital applaud your efforts and are fully in support of the services your bring to the community."
James Walsh, President and CEO, Brookwood Capital
"Today's youth face a difficult challenge in their teen years of avoiding alcohol and other drug abuse. The proposed Teen Center will be a priceless addition to our community."
Joseph Cummings, Publisher, Peterborough Transcript
"The #1 need identified by community members was the need to support families in ensuring the safety of children and adolescents, including issues of: alcohol and drug use, child care, teen sexuality, depression and suicide, and communication. These are all areas addressed by CPC's current and planned initiatives. CPC has made great strides in making our community aware of these important issues."
Peter Gosline, CEO, Monadnock Community Hospital
We [AIDS Services for Monadnock Region] have enjoyed our collaborative efforts to date with CPC, and consider ourselves as a key partner with agencies addressing ATOD issues."
Susan MacNeil, Executive Director, AIDS Services for Monadnock Region
"CPC helped secure funding for our pre-Prom Assembly and was instrumental in planning our objectives for the year. We accomplished all our goals that included: Red Ribbon Week, Boys and Girls' Groups, Staff Training, Life After High School, Playground Mentor Program, Peer Mediation, and Second Step (addressing bullying and harassment issues.)"
Larry Murphy, Principal, Conant High School
"The Monadnock Area Young Life organization would welcome and support the activities of the Community Prevention Collaborative. It is our hope that Young Life and the CPC will work closely together to meet the needs of the teens, their parents and all our neighbors within the ConVal school region."
Mike Durkee, Area Director, Young Life
"I am very excited about the existing programs and services that CPC provides and the additional programs proposed [for the future]. I have been in juvenile services for nine years and I am convinced that community-based prevention and intervention initiatives are the most effective tools in combating substance abuse and juvenile delinquency."
Peter Brigham, Director, Office of Youth Services-Hillsboro
"For the past three years, CPC has mobilized community members and partnered with a variety of local agencies and businesses to increase public awareness about the impact of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs as well as provide crucial educational opportunities to both young people and adults. They have created a foundation from which to build on, now they need adequate funding to maintain these positive efforts and realize significant long-term results."
