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.
