Perry County Community Task Force

Perry County Community Task Force The PCCTF is a not-for-profit, community based organization, started in 1995. A second assessment was completed in 2005.

The PCCTF conducted an initial community assessment in 1996 to determine direction in working with community needs. The top idenitified needs of the community included: alcohol/substance abuse, teen-age pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, declining family values. The Task Force developed programs/services to address the identified community needs.

The YTF recently saw a trend where adults make a Tik Tok of their progression of alcoholic beverages throughout the day. Since the Youth Task Force is all about being substance free we decided to put our own spin on the trend with a video of our progression of goals in life. Statistics show that the more often adults refuse to use drugs and alcohol and/or provide drugs and alcohol to minors, the number of minors using decreases. Adults, you are the first link in helping the youth of Perry County make healthy, safe choices, so that our community can be healthy and safe for everyone.

This summer the Perry County Community Task Force is doing a campaign to inform our community members about the dangers and risks that we see among our youth. Facts and tools will be posted periodically to help inform adults about these topics.

Parenting is not an easy task. Keep an eye out for future posts on how to have hard conversations with your child and stay informed about the challenges children are facing in today's world.

Last week, the DEFY/ 8th Grade Conference took place at the Perry Park Center for local 8th grade students. Around 200 students, teachers and volunteers attended the conference where our presenters from The Seven Project gave personal testimonies and shared personal stories and educated youth on the impact of choices and decisions. This year, topics included: substance use, peer pressure, self- respect, coping and integrity. The Perry County Community Task Force would like to thank IMPACT 100 Perry County and the YST Board for their support in making this Conference possible! When we work together as a community, we build a stronger, healthier and safer community!

The Perry County Community Task Force would like to take a moment to give a shout out to Emma Mahnken for all the volunteer work she accomplished as a founding member of the Youth Task Force. Over the last 3 years Emma has dedicated time to helping younger students grow in a substance free mindset and has been a great role model of positive decision making in our community. We will miss her impact in YTF but can’t wait to see the impact she has on the world. We wish you the best of luck Emma as you continue to be a positive role model whenever life leads you.

Today, we closed out another round of the Girls Circle program where friendships were strengthened, confidence has been building, walls were coming down and the challenge and encouragement to be authentic was left with the girls as they move onto the next chapter in life. We wish you all the best as the school year closes out and cannot wait to see what you do with this beautiful life! 🥰
