"Stop The Madness" Panel
This is the 4th year of our “Stop the Madness” panel on the importance of healthy relationships and prevention of alcohol and drug use, sex, and violence among adolescents. The panel includes community leaders from the Metro D.C. area who share a concern for today’s youth. The panel was followed by a production of “Make Music Not Madness,” which aims to promote among our youth “music” activities which enrich, inspire and uplift instead of “madness” activities which degrade, depress and lead to danger. – Elayne Bennett
