SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION SERVICES


ALBION LEADER RECOGNIZED



Longtime youth advocate Harry Bonner was recognized for his achievements with
the presentation of an honorary doctorate at Albion College's 2015 Commencement
on Saturday, May 9, 2015.

A native of Tennessee and a 1965 graduate of Albion High School, Bonner spent 10
years working for Albion's Corning Glass plant. In 1975, Bonner began working
with Albion High School students, later becoming director of the Albion Drop-In
Center, where he provided crisis intervention services to the community. This
program, now known as Substance Abuse Prevention Services, is still headed by
Bonner. This organization also operates the Kids at Hope Youth Development
Center at the First United Methodist Church.

Among many commendations for leadership and service, Mr. Bonner has received the
Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement in Community Service Award, the
South Central Michigan Substance Abuse Commission Distinguished Service Award,
and an Albion High School Distinguished Alumni Award. Photo shows Mr. Bonner

CREATING SUBSTANCE ABUSE-FREE COMMUNITIES

We are committed to be, and to be recognized as, a community where all people
have the opportunity for good health and educational opportunities.

Substance Abuse Prevention Services of Michigan is committed to: the full
participation of people in health decision making, the availability of high
quality preventive and primary care services to support the health of people at
every stage of life, community-wide collaboration to draw on organizational,
financial and human resources to improve health, community wide access to
appropriate health services, and cost effective use of all community resources.


KIDS AT HOPE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Kids at Hope inspires, empowers, and transforms families, youth serving
organizations (schools, parks and recreation departments, police and fire
departments, etc.) and entire communities to create an environment where all
children experience success, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Kids at Hope is located on the 2nd floor of the First United Methodist Church
building.  It is not a 'drop-in' center, but has regularly scheduled events from
3 to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.  This location was picked because of its
proximity to Washington Gardner School, Harrington School and Albion College. 
This program is primarily recreational activites and games.


KIDS AT HOPE YOUTH ACADEMY

The Kids at Hope Youth Academy involves college students mentoring high school
students with specific challenges. The challenges might be the home environment,
or limited English language challenges for international students attending
Albion Public Schools. The Kids at Hope Youth Academy works in conjunction with
the Greater Albion College Access Network (see sidebar at right.) See more
information also on the "Services" page, link above.

 * Mentoring. Older adults (age 55 and older) are recruited, trained, and spend
   a minimum of two hours each week in one-on-one contact with youth.

ALBION SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION COALITION

The Albion Substance Abuse Coation was created by the Anti_Drug Abuse Act of
1986. AASAPC is the focus of local efforts to prevent alcohol, tobacco, and
other drug progrmes nationwide. ASAPC provides information and assistance to
national, regional, state and c o mmunity prevention efforts. Research has shown
that virtually no one initiates use of tobacoo, alcholol or other illegal durgs
after the age of 25, so ASAPC efforts focuses its efforts on young people. The
primary target of ASAPC is "high risk youth". See more information on the
solutions page.
