Santa Ana : Conference at College to Focus on Drug Abuse
Making students “proud to be drug free” is the idea behind a two-day conference on drug abuse that will be held this weekend at Rancho Santiago Community College in Santa Ana.
The conference--which will begin Friday with a program targeted at educators and continues Saturday with workshops for students and parents--is being sponsored by the City of Santa Ana, the Santa Ana Unified School District and the Rancho Santiago Community College District.
“We have to go beyond telling kids to just say no,” said Linda Paire, director of the Santa Ana Drug Abuse Clinic and one of the conference coordinators. “We need to be helping kids feel good about themselves.”
Saturday’s session will be conducted in English and Spanish.
The conference will begin at 8:30 a.m. both days. For more information, call (714) 647-5301.
