The National Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Program in Trinidad is hosting several breakfasts in an attempt to forge alliances among the media, sports personalities, and others in the fight against drug abuse.

"...the objective of the breakfast meeting was to 'sensitize the media to the work of NADAPP and to obtain their assistance in promoting Substance Abuse Education and Prevention.'... This breakfast meeting is just one of several stakeholder engagement initiatives that form part of NADAPP's current drive to deepen and strengthen its partnership with the NGO and Private Sectors in the fight against drugs."

Members of the media were encouraged to use their 24/7 access to listeners to expose the harsh realities of drug use, rather than making it sound "cool" or fun. Source: Newsday (Trinidad & Tobago)
