MOUNDSVILLE, WV – Retailers and their employees who sell alcohol are invited to attend a training program that prevents sales to minors and people who are already intoxicated. The training program is free to businesses in Marshall County, thanks to the Marshall County Family Resource Network’s receipt of grant funds from the West Virginia Purdue Pharma Asset Forfeiture Funds: Drug-Free West Virginia Grant Program.
The Training for Intervention ProcedureS, or TIPS, is a dynamic, skills-based training program designed to prevent underage drinking, intoxication and drunk driving by enhancing the “people skills” of servers, sellers and consumers of alcohol.
The training session will be held from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, July 20, at the Marshall County Family Resource Network, 324 7th Street, Moundsville.
The TIPS program is designed to help retailers and their employees to comply with local and state regulations, help protect them from alcohol liability lawsuits and improve professionalism, customer service and customer satisfaction.
The TIPS program is funded by grants from the WV Governor’s Office and the WV Partnership to Promote Community Well-Being. The grant is made possible by the State of West Virginia’s receipt of a federal Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) from the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and the West Virginia Purdue Pharma Asset Forfeiture Funds (PPF): Drug-Free West Virginia (DF) Grant Program.
The grants are administered by the Marshall County Family Resource Network.
For more information on the TIPS training or to register, please contact Theresa Parsons, SPF-SIG coordinator, at (304) 845-3300 or at spfsigcoordinator@comcast.net.
