Participants at Monday's grant presentation at Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation gather in a circle.
The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is giving a $220,000 planning grant to Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation to develop programs to help people in emotional distress.

Yes, it's bragging when you state that you are drug and alcohol free, this event was a success, with many informative ways to help, there was even a presentation from a couple of drug and alcohol free teenagers who told the audience what their and their friends experience on a daily basis, all because of drugs and alcohol...I would attend more conferences like this!!

I wonder about this process. are they talking to people who have successfully raised kids who are drug and alcohol free? do they invite these folks? it seems to me that if you have a problem it might be a good idea to ask those who have been successful in your community. maybe create a panel of folks who have raised drug and alcohol free kids in rocky boy and have people ask them questions. I asked a guy why he didn't show and he said; they think you're bragging.
