Sussex County has put together a program to make sure kids "survive the risk years."
The program called, "Project Alert: Helping Our Kids Survive Their Most At Risk Years" is to take place Thursday, April 7 at Green Hill School in Green Township. Attendees will hear from a youth in recover, law enforcement, a prevention specialist, and an addictions counselor.
Officials reported a 27% increase in alcohol use and a 55% increase in inhalant abuse among 6th graders. One official discussing the increase was quoted saying, "really good kids, from really good homes, from really good schools do drugs too.”

EAA Steps Up to The Plate in Addressing Inhalant Abuse
ACE would like to thank the Eastern Aerosol Association (EAA) for all they are doing to help combat inhalant abuse.
This past summer, EAA partnered with the Camden Riversharks baseball team on an aerosol awareness project . ACE was pleased to see that as part of the project, EAA included a number of anti-huffing messages.
During the home games, ACE’s Public Service Announcement, Silence, was played on the large on-field screen. In addition, Queshia Bradley, ACE Education Programs Coordinator, conducted a live interview with the game announcer in stadium.
Third, EAA Board Members, during the games, volunteered their time to staff an informational tabletop display. In the photo below, EAA Board Trustees Maria-Lind Hansen and Chris Nyarady help distribute ACE’s materials and inform consumers about the dangers of inhalant abuse.
