Ingham Substance Abuse Coalition Appeals to Young Adults
ISAP Sponsors New Year's Eve Casino Night Lock-In for Teens

LANSING, MICH. -- The Ingham Substance Abuse Coalition is reaching out to Ingham County high school students by giving them opportunities to participate in drug-free activities.
"We just want to show students that they can have fun without the use of drugs. Getting involved in the community is the only way we can change the social norm," said Harriet Dean, ISAP partner.
The lock-in will be held at the Michigan Athletic Club (MAC) in East Lansing on Dec. 31 at 7 p.m. Students will stay overnight, under chaperoned supervision of ISAP members, to enjoy a night filled with music, food, non-alcoholic beverages and casino simulated games.
"I'm really looking forward to this New Year's Eve party. It is great to have somewhere to go with your friends and without your parents worried that you will get in trouble," said Ashley Jones, Haslett High School freshman.
ISAP's mission is to reduce the substance abuse and it's related consequences and stigma. The purpose is to bring effective prevention services to our community through comprehensive collaboration. We coordinate, plan, develop and evaluate a comprehensive countywide strategy that addresses locally determined risk and protective factors and achieve changes in substance use behaviors prioritized by our county.
