PGS Prevention Monthly Connect Group discussed the Steamed Comix book that had been

created by Josephine County treatment provider to determine if there would be any demand on the county level to have the book reproduced. Providers requested that the book be posted on the Prevention Website for review. (After the call an email was sent out to PGS Prevention Providers notifying them that they could see the book on the Prevention Website, and if counties wanted to print the book they could work directly with Jean Link in Josephine county programs and would need to utilize their county PG Prevention funds.)
