The Power of Parents:  "What parents may not realize is that children say parental disapproval of underage drinking is the key reason they have chosen not to drink." (Charlie Curie, former SAMHSA administrator, US Dept. of Health and Human Services)......... Parents who had clear discussions with children around the risks of underage drinking before the age of 10, had children who were less likely to initiate alcohol use eary.

Collaborating to support healthy communities...

The Lower Fairfield County Regional Action Council (LFCRAC) is a collaborative of dedicated representatives from a variety of sectors in lower Fairfield County.  Our mission is to serve our communities by being a catalyst for regional collaborations in order to strengthen local efforts to reduce substance misuse from youth through older adults, and including persons living with mental illness in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and New Canaan communities.

History...

The Lower Fairfield County Regional Action Council (LFCRAC) is one of 14 Connecticut Regional Action Councils (RACS) created by the state Legislature in 1989.  RACs are a collaborative venue to support local efforts to address substance abuse and misuse across the lifespan. 
Support involves identifying the gaps in services along the continuum which includes prevention, intervention, treatment and aftercare and then developing the resources to address these gaps. 

RACs are neutral conveners and catalysts for collaborations to address the gaps, and they are also a place where members of different sectors and communities can share their knowledge, resources and other assets to address and prevent substance abuse.

For an overview of LFCRAC, including information on projects and initiatives, please contact us or see our brochure.    

What we can do for you...

In addition to facilitating regional collaborations to support local efforts, LFCRAC can also assist individual communities or groups with the following:

l Connecting to prevention and treatment services and resources
l Organizing presentations and training
l    Data collection (through surveys, focus groups, analysis of secondary
       data)

l     Identifying best practices in prevention and treatment
l    Program evaluation
