Community Coalitions

Making change from the ground up.

We work with grassroots organizations addressing substance use in their local areas. Our community strategists provide technical assistance, training, resources, and education.

What is a Coalition

Coalitions work from a grassroots level to create change and provide support in their individual neighborhoods, municipalities, and communities. They are comprised of various members of the community, including parents, youth, senior citizens, businesses, service organizations, media, government, healthcare professionals, faith community, schools, law enforcement, and social services.

How We Support

The Prevention Resource Center (PRC) at PreventEd works with coalitions to address substance use in their local areas.  PRC staff provides technical assistance, training, resources, and education about substance use awareness.

“I didn’t know that everyone has risk factors that affect drug use. Now that I do, I’m really trying to incorporate that into my life to keep me on pace and stay away from drugs and drug use.”

Adolescent, 17
