Representatives
of the
B.O.L.D.
(Building Our Lives Drug-free) Coalition took their program on the road
and met with members of the Swansea School Committee on November 6,
2007,
to
invite Swansea residents to participate in BOLD’s activities and
programs. Karen Fischer and Maureen Ryan-Estes also offered to bring
BOLD’s parenting and youth drug prevention curriculum to the Swansea
school system. BOLD has worked over the past three years to establish
substance abuse prevention in the City of Fall River and now seeks to
expand the program to the towns of Somerset, Swansea and Westport. For
an example of some of the BOLD programs,

the BOLD Coalition, funded by a
SAMHSA grant,
