Ossining Communities That Care

Ossining Communities That Care A Community coalition focused on reducing substance abuse and the promotion of positive youth development in Ossining.

Check out our website at http://ossiningctc.org
Check out our instagram at https://www.instagram.com/ossiningcommunitiesthatcare/ Working collaboratively across all sectors of the community, we energetically pursue the education of both Ossining youth and parents, creating awareness of the risks and problems that arise from substance abuse, and offering resources that draw our residents into the p

revent/intervene/treat/recover spectrum. We believe that every individual in our community can play a role in keeping our youth safe, strong, and thriving. Education and support services, through seminars, training programs, workshops, and media campaigns, reach out to Ossining parents, our middle school and high school students, our educators and administrators, our local alcohol retailers, as well as health service providers in both the public and private sectors, with our message: Ossining’s youth are “2 Young—2 Smart—2 Start.” Funded by grants from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and other public agencies, we operate out of the Open Door Family Medical Center. Ossining CTC holds monthly meetings at the Ossining Public Library. We welcome all offers to participate in our coalition, and to strengthen our collective voice through your service and support.

It’s .

Life’s ups and downs happen to us all - it’s not always smiles and laughs. But having the support of those around us can make a real difference.

So don’t tell someone to cheer up and get over it. Help them through it.

There are hundreds of chemicals in ma*****na. THC is the one that makes a person feel high. Growers have worked hard to increase the THC concentration in the ma*****na sold today. With this increased potency comes increased likelihood of addiction.

THC is the psychoactive chemical in ma*****na. Increased THC means increased likelihood of addiction. The percentage of THC has increased dramatically since the 80s and 90s in the ma*****na plant, going from about 4% to 15-20% today.

When young people choose to v**e or consume edibles, THC levels can be as high as 90%.

THC gummies and snack food edibles can look almost identical to popular candy and junk food. What makes them so dangerous is that while a kid may indulge in a handful of normal candy gummies, a single THC gummy can contain extremely high levels of THC.
