This strategic plan outlines the Dedham Organization for Substance Awareness's (DOSA) direction for promoting well-being and reducing youth and adult substance use. Key initiatives include developing a sustainability plan, organizing parent information sessions, launching media campaigns to address marijuana use perceptions and risks, increasing youth engagement in pro-social activities, and expanding alternative to suspension programs in schools. The plan also focuses on strengthening coalition engagement and empowering youth to lead community-level change strategies to decrease substance use rates among Dedham youth in grades 6-12.
