One of the cool things about evidence-based workshops is that the NYC PRC are able to help community groups, prevention specialists and concerned citizens find ways to address the negative effects of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, gambling and violence at the community level.  Presented by the youth of the Long Beach Medical Community is their Photovoice video.  Their adult mentors attended our Community Network Seminar: Empower Your Community with Phototvoice training on February 28, 2013. With this powerful tool, they were able to bring awareness to the underage drinking issue that plagues their community.

We want to thank The Long Beach Medical Community Coalition for assisting their youth group with this terrific video presentation. You too can provoke positive change in your community!
