The coalition prevents substance abuse among youth by working with all levels of the community, including youth, parents and other adults, elected officials and law enforcement.  We provide education, promote resources for treatment and promote reporting options to empower the community.

We focus our efforts on the most prevalant substance abuse problems among youth in Shelby County and inform the community about new and emerging substance abuse issues:  

Alcohol
Tobacco
Marijuana
Prescription and Over-the-Counter Medications

Emerging Substance Abuse Issues


Coalition members are available for presentations for children, youth and adults.  Members are also avaialble to set up an informational booth at community events and health fairs.  Please contact us for more information.
