We've been working closely for a few months with Peers Influence Peers Partnership, a group based in Putnam Valley, N.Y., that creates powerful PSAs with a prevention or recovery message for young people. All of the writing, interviewing, camera work, acting, editing and behind-the-scences work is under the direction of high school and college students.

Every year, PIP produces an hour-long show that is broadcast to schools and rehabs around the country via satellite. Carrick was one of eight young people who told their story for this year's presentation, Road to Recovery. A story about the program ran on page 3 of today's Journal News, the daily newspaper in our home county of Westchester, N.Y. We are mentioned and quoted at the end of the piece.

If you'd like to obtain a SVHS, VHS, DVD, or Beta sp tape of Road to Recovery or any of the other PIP productions, email president Frank Reale.
