Mission Statement
The Burlington Drug and Alcohol Task Force (BDATF) has been in existence since 1982. It was formed in response to former Governor Ed King’s request for community feedback and support concerning legislation to combat the problem of drunk driving in the Commonwealth. Informed professionals and concerned citizens formed the first local group of its kind engaged in youth alcohol abuse prevention activities. Our community has one of the longest standing and most stable coalitions in the state.
Since 1982, the Task Force has held at least six bi-monthly meetings each school year and its mission has expanded to include the whole area of youth substance abuse. The group’s membership is made up of community residents and local professionals including members of PTO’s, parent groups, the clergy, business community, law enforcement, education (students, faculty, administration), human services and local government.
Some of the goals of the BDATF are:
>To develop and implement substance abuse prevention and intervention programs
>To promote healthy choices related to drug abuse prevention, reduction of underage drinking, reduction of alcohol–related car accidents and decrease teen tobacco use
>To exchange concerns and ideas regarding substance abuse in our community
>To share information from conferences and other sources
>To support and cooperate with community organizations in their endeavors to lower youth substance abuse risk
>To maintain resources for the community including educational materials about reducing substance abuse risk and how to find treatment
