PATH PROJECT-
The Performing Above the High (PATH) Project is a program of the California Health Collaborative, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the undeserved. The PATH Project was created in response to the growing marijuana use rates among Fresno County teens. Funded by the Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health, the PATH Project's main goal is to decrease marijuana use among the 12-20 year old population by creating environments where marijuana use among teens is less accessible, less acceptable, and less desirable. The PATH Project's main strategies include community norm change efforts, evidence based youth education, parent education and awareness efforts, and community advocacy activities.

Other featured speaker’s include Haide Medina and Alyssa Boyles, who both share a love for the people they work with. I personally know Haide and very happy to have met her.  She puts all her heart into her work and has a deep commitment for the people she is helping. 

Recovery Radio Fresno would like to also give a special thanks to Haide Medina helping to make this show happen.  Thanks Haide!
