Prevention is a vital approach aimed at promoting healthy and informed choices to avoid the harmful consequences of substance abuse. We use a proactive and comprehensive strategy designed to reduce access and availability to substances. Prevention efforts include education, community outreach, addressing risk factors, and development of coping skills aimed at equipping individuals, families, and communities with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to make healthy choices and resist the pressures associated with substance use.

A coalition is a group of individuals, organizations, or stakeholders that come together to achieve a common goal or address a shared concern. Members collaborate by pooling resources, sharing expertise, and coordinating efforts to create collective impact. Coalitions are often formed to influence policy, promote social change, or solve complex community issues.
