Our Mission

The coalition values every family. We offer the kinds of programs that encourage all families of every social and economic status to participate in parent skill-building to help our kids become resistant to experimenting in harmful substances and behaviors.  

When we focus on improving the health of our community, we can all come together around a common goal and a unified vision of prevention. The coalition strives to provide youth and community members with healthy options that may deter them from using alcohol and other drugs.  

Education is essential to our coalition work because education is key to the growth and development of our youth. Those who don’t know or learn a better way may repeat or begin the path of poor choices which will lead to the disintegration of self, family, and community.  

By working toward the common goal of substance use prevention and education, we ensure the health and safety of all members of our community.  Our law enforcement partners strive to create and maintain a safe environment for all of the members of our community, and especially for our youth. 

We use research to combat misinformation-  about marijuana and other drugs. The field of Prevention Science is constantly growing and our coalition makes an effort to always be bettering ourselves and using the best strategies possible.
