Beyond The Bell, Inc

Beyond The Bell, along with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) provides tools and evidence – based strategies to train, educate, and support youth and families in the prevention of alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco use and abuse. Underage drinking by those under the age of 21 is illegal, affects the developing brain, and can have devastating health, safety and legal consequences. Underage drinking and marijuana use among 9-20 year olds have been identified in Upson County and Macon/Bibb County as issues affecting our community. In addition to working with youth, Beyond The Bell works statewide with senior citizens to address their needs and concerns, as well as any issues related to substance abuse.
