What is a coalition?

A coalition is a group of different people and organizations that work together to solve problems. Our coalitions work on preventing substance misuse (like drugs or alcohol) and on preventing suicide. We work to make our community healthier.

How do I fit in?

The strength of a community comes from having many people and organizations working together.

The coalitions work with 12 different groups that make up a community:

I am a...

Community member

Parent or family member

Law enforcement officer

School staff member

Local business

Media group (TV, newspapers, social media)

Employee of an organization helping the community

Religious group member

Civic and volunteer group member

Healthcare professional

Government employee

Other groups that help reduce substance misuse
