ADDICTION SYMPOSIUM FOCUSES ON LOCAL SOLUTIONS

About 140 health care workers, educators and social workers attended a 
symposium on addiction at the Hotel Cheribourg in Orford Thursday. The 
symposium, featured workshops on recent research with focus this year on 
four programs offered in the Townships. A new partnership is being formed 
between the groups offering community services relating to addiction - 
school boards, the Surete du Quebec, and the youth centres to help evaluate 
the adolescents at risk. DEP-ADO is an evaluation tool used to determine 
what course of action to take for a teen possibly suffering from addiction 
to drugs or alcohol.
