The Ellington Drug Abuse Prevention Council (DAPC) is a long standing group that has been coordinating prevention services for the youth of Ellington for more than ten years. Membership includes key stakeholders in the community, including Ellington Youth Services, Ellington Human Services, Ellington Public Schools, Ellington Recreation Department, Resident State Troopers and student representatives. This year two subgroups formed.
One, The Parent Connection, is a group of concerned parents interested in bringing awareness and information to the community of the dangers of underage drinking.
The second, Rise Above, is a group of Ellington High School students with a mission of being role models and encouraging those students around them to make positive choices. The DAPC received a $255,000 grant for three years to be used for the prevention of underage drinking in Ellington. A community effort is needed to
accomplish this task!
