STORY SLUGGED: ADDICTION-SILENT-BREAKING -- (April 26, 2006) The Peers Influence Peers Partnership (peerspartnership.org), which carries a prevention and recovery message to young adults across the country, was founded in 1993 after the cousin of a student in Frank Reale's video production club in the Putnam Valley, N.Y., school system died in a drunk driving accident. Since then, more than 250 high school and college students have created and produced a dozen hourlong videos and public service announcements broadcast via satellite each year to a thousand locations across the country.
