Encompass Coalition asks Northborough parents to join school-based substance-use prevention
Summary
At the Northborough Police Youth Academy event, Encompass Coalition representative Emily Tylus invited middle‑school parents to monthly meetings and offered resources about nicotine and alcohol prevention for grades 6–12, noting collaboration with local police and schools.
Emily Tylus, a representative of the Encompass Coalition, told attendees at the Northborough Police Youth Academy graduation that the group is focused on nicotine and alcohol prevention for students in grades 6–12 and is actively recruiting new parent volunteers. "We're a substance use prevention coalition for Northborough and Southborough," she said, and invited anyone with questions to stop by the coalition table outside.
Tylus said the coalition meets monthly and is helping set up school curricula and parent-facing resources. She noted existing cooperation with local law enforcement, saying Detective Sullivan is "one of our biggest champions," and encouraged parents to join efforts to talk with children about substance use and to provide feedback on prevention programming.
