PREVENTION SERVICES
Community Coalitions
NCADD-SFV Prevention works with a network of community-based organizations implementing evidence-based services. Along with our community partners, we provide services impacting youth and young adults that focus on addressing the contributing factors of availability and accessibility, and social norms and community conditions that contribute to alcohol and other drug use and misuse. Below are a few of the coalitions that NCADD-SFV partners with.
