The Birmingham Bloomfield Families in Action (BBFA) is a local organization put together by citizens of the two cities who have recognized the epic problem of illegal drugs, such as tobacco, alcohol, and more addictive narcotics. The organization gives a conscious effort to educate those who are most effected by drugs in the community; the teens who have fallen into the trap of drugs, and also the parents of those teens. According to their website, bbfaprevention.org, the BBFA is "A non-profit community organization that promotes healthy families by actively educating, informing and providing tools to parents and the community about healthy parenting as well as prevention of substance abuse and other destructive behaviors." The BBFA provides seminars, classes, and other interactive activities that give teens and their parents the opportunity to become more educated on drugs and destructive behavior, and the consequences that come with being involved in such things. There are also plenty of opportunities to volunteer and get involved in the rehabilitation of the community, and substance abuse problems.
