Welcome to our website! 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. Often while under the influence, youth engage in other risky behaviors. Research
has also shown that parents and thier disapproval of underage drinking and other risky behaviors is the key reason many
youth not to participate. It is important as individuals and as a community that we encourage
youth to make good decisions to not drink. In 2006, CCSUD was one of 27 communities in Connecticut
that received a three year grant that focuses on underage drinking. To learn how you can get more involved call Sarah

Don't Provide, Don't Excuse, Don't IgnoreCCSUD has launched its new social marketing campaign in Cheshire recently. After reviewing the results of the 2007 Cheshire
Youth and Parent surveys it became very clear that there is a disconnect between what parents think their children are
doing in terms of risky behaviors and what youth are actually partaking in. We know that parents are children's
first teachers and they want the best for them always. We also know that parents' disapproval of substance use is
the number one deterrent for youth experimentation and use of substances. The problem is - parents don't know about
this influence that they have. Look for our posters around town or check out pages on this website that illustrate how
parents can educate themselves and have an even more positive affect on their children. Keep the conversation going
- youth need to hear the message over and over again! Parents harness your power!!!!
