Knowledge and skills in drug prevention are critical for parents and other adult role models to help protect our children. DOCAS coordinators are strategically located throughout British Columbia to assist communities in this endeavor by working together to build a comprehensive Community Prevention Education Continuum. To locate the DOCAS Coordinator for your specific area and discuss how you can support your community’s CPEC, contact us.
This website has been created to equip parents and other adult caregivers with the tools to help them raise healthy, drug-free children.
It serves as a drug prevention information center with helpful articles and advice from experts in the fields of parenting and substance abuse prevention, and links to organizations providing science-based drug prevention information, fact sheets and studies.
To access some of these, click on the Resources & Tools or Parent Tips pages.
