Thank you for your interest in participating in one of our online focus groups!
We are the Strategic Planning Initiative for Families and Youth (SPIFFY) Coalition, which strives to promote the health and well-being of young people, and prevent youth alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine and tobacco use throughout Hampshire County. The goal of these online focus groups (which will take place over Zoom) is to learn from parents and caregivers about what's going on with youth substance use and mental health. We will use the information shared during these discussions to shape our substance use prevention efforts in the months and years to come, so we are very interested in hearing what you have to say!
