Substance Abuse
The Community Ambassador Partnership for Success (CAPS) Program is designed to increase the capacity and infrastructure of Coweta County, GA to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse and its related problems among youth and young adults (9 to 20 years old) over a five-year period.
The STOP program goal is to reduce and prevent the onset of underage drinking for males and females, ages 12 – 20, by providing educational workshops for youth, organizing community campaigns and activities. The program also seeks to strengthen and enhance intergovernmental cooperation and coordination of underage drinking initiatives. A coalition consisting of citizens and representatives from various sectors of the community convene to create a Underage Drinking Action Plan and provide program guidance.
