About CASHY

Vision
A safe and Healthy community free of illegal use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs.

Mission
To help every youth in our community enjoy a safe, healthy, and substance-free journey to adulthood by implementing proven drug and alcohol prevention programs.

Scope
The Granite Bay High community including Cavitt and Olympus Middle Schools


History
CASHY was formed in July 2007 to help raise awareness and educate parents about the pressures our kids face today that involve the use of drugs and alcohol.  We believe that underage drinking and drug use is dangerous for our children.  We provide communications and advocacy support for substance abuse prevention on all fronts: the individual, family, school  and community. CASHY is comprised of parents, students, health care experts and local law enforcement and welcomes other concerned citizens (such as local businesses) who have a stake in the health and safety of the youth in our community.
Activities
  • We sponsor community education forums on relevant topics to inform and educate parent and students.
  • CASHY will publish periodic newsletters to keep our community abreast of current information. 
  • We have agreed to implement a safe host contract and associated database system which will allow parents to register their homes as a safe place for your child to visit.  The cities of Roseville and Rocklin are well on their way to implementation of such a system, which we will copy.
  • CASHY is working with school staff to evaluate teen alcohol education programs.
  • We will collect and publish local statistical data on drug use frequency and patterns. We will use this data to monitor our progress toward our goals.
  • CASHY will investigate drug issues of concern to our community.  For instance, we have recently studied the risk and symptoms of steroid use by our athletes.
  • We evaluate substance abuse literature and will distribute the relevant material to our community.
  • CASHY serves as a focal point of contact for parents concerned about substance abuse issues.
