Harford County Symposium

2011 Harford County Annual Symposium on Drug Prevention, Intervention and Treatment

Topics to include suicide prevention, bullying, substance abuse and internet safety

On Tuesday, June 28, 2011, from 7:45 am to 4:00 pm, the Harford County Department of Community Services, Office of Drug Control Policy, will hold its Annual Symposium on Drug Prevention, Intervention and Treatment at Bel Air High School, 100 Heighe Street, in Bel Air. 

Each year the Annual Symposium on Drug Prevention, Intervention and Treatment focuses on relevant and timely issues taking place in not only our county, but nationwide.  This year’s theme is “Rising Above the Trends, Breaking the Cycle,” and will focus on hot topics such as suicide prevention, bullying, substance abuse and internet safety, to name just a few.

The Annual Symposium provides an opportunity to learn about addiction, suicide prevention, mediation techniques, abuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, internet safety and sexting, teen dating violence, and bullying.  As the county focuses on substance abuse and prevention locally, these topics are well-timed and pertinent and offered through a day of workshops and a keynote and plenary address from highly respected experts in the field.
