Portland Press Herald column recommends partnership's video on underage drinking

"The Point of No Return," a DVD collaboration between Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition (CHCC), the Healthy Maine Partnership at the University of New England, Video Creations, and the Kennebunk Police Department, was featured in a recent column by Bill Nemitz in the Portland Press Herald during Young Driver Safety Awareness Month.  

This powerful movie addresses the tragic consequences of underage drinking, and how a moment's choices can impact a lifetime.  It is being shown in high schools and other organizations throughout Maine.

In addition, CHCC recently teamed up with Video Creations in Kennebunk, Maine, to produce " A Parent's Guide to Social Networking, " a DVD tool to help parents and youth better understand social networking sites and their potential dangers. To see trailers of the two CHCC videos, visit the Point of No Return website and YouTube.
