Cheshire Coalition to Stop Underage Drinking
| |
| Cheshire Coalition to Stop Underage Drinking | Since 2000, the Cheshire Coalition to Stop Underage Drinking has been working to educate and reduce underage drinking. CCSUD is made
up of parents, youth, school staff, police and
other organizations who are helping our youth make good decisions. Alcohol is the most abused drug by Connecticut's youth. Research has shown that youth today begin to drink at a younger age and are drinking hard alcohol in large quantities. The above link will take you directly to our website at www.cheshirecsud.org. |

The Cheshire Parent Connection is a network to enhance communication between parents and teens and to help families make informed decisions about hosting teen gatherings and to provide parents tips on talking about risky behaviors with their child.
