WEBSOURCES CASA attempts to update The Book every year or two. However, it would be impossible to keep all of the resources up to date on hard copy; phone numbers change, agencies move, addresses change, non-profits sometimes lose funding, others might consolidate. The internet offers a vast amount of information and in most instances that information is updated regularly. CASA plans to make The Book available on the internet in the upcoming year. In the meantime, help is available and current on the net. Please keep in mind that frequently the most reliable and current information will be found on government, education or organization/agency sites. For that reason, when searching try to gravitate toward addresses that end in: ".gov" ".org" or ".edu" rather than “.com” sites. Here are some of our site choices: www.drugfreeamerica.org www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov www.nida.nih.gov www.projectknow.org www.samhsa.gov/CSAP www.health.org www.srvusd.k12.ca.us/sdf/health www.discoverycenteronline.com www.pta.org www.talkingwithkids.org www.aacap.org www.aap.org www.madd.org/ www.thecoolspot.gov/ www.search-institute.org Parenting Is Prevention www.parentingisprevention.org National Runaway Switchboard www.nrscrisisline.org/ Not My Kid.org www.notmykid.org/ An organization that believes that parents can influence the quality and outcome of their kids' lives through education, knowledge and active participation.
