Barrington Area Drug Prevention Coalition (BADPC)
The Barrington Area Drug Prevention Coalition was formed in 2004 through the Barrington Area Council of Governments. It is a grassroots organization of local governments, social service and health agencies, schools, police, students and parents. The mission of this organization is to reverse the trend of tobacco, alcohol, and other drug abuse in the Barrington area communities. The focus of this group is to provide education, prevention and intervention strategies through its partnerships and encourage healthy alternative behaviors. Find out more at www.badpc.org.
The Healthier Barrington Project
The Barrington Healthier Community Project, of which BACOG is a member,
requests periodic citizen input in order to learn the views, desires and needs
of the residents of the greater Barrington area. The method employed by
the Project is the regional Needs Assessment, the most recent of which was
completed in fall 2011. This is the sixth survey of Barrington area residents for the Healthier Community Project. Similar studies have been conducted every three years starting in 1996, allowing longitudinal data comparisons for many questions. Read the full 2011 report here.
