Healing happens in communities. The CCE offers coalition-building support, resources, tools, and referrals to assist community groups to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those affected by substance use.

We Can Help

Well planned prevention strategies can impact communities.  Preventative measures focus on awareness, using statistics and strategies to help educate populations to increase protective factors and decrease the risk factors associated with substance use in the community.  Training, technical assistance, and toolkits are available to help community members stay informed.

Education is at the core of our mission. We provide training sessions and learning collaboratives to arm community organizations and the general public with the knowledge they need to address substance use effectively within their communities.

We Can Help

Our goal is to amplify the conversation around substance use prevention and recovery, inform and engage both local and broader communities, and help promote meaningful and long-lasting change in substance use within the community.
