The Drug-Free Coalition provides leadership, education and resources to prevent and address substance abuse and unhealthy choices among Rockwood youth.
Comprised of representatives from all sectors of our community, the goals of the organization include the following:
Prevent substance abuse by providing information and education to the community and ways for members to become involved.
Foster culturally competent community collaboration in prevention planning, action and evaluation.
Facilitate specialized support programs for individuals who
are at high risk for substance abuse.
Involve young people in peer-oriented prevention efforts in a common goal to remain drug free.
Provide mechanisms by which individuals who are dealing
with substance abuse problems can be offered resources.
The members of the Drug-Free Coalition understand that no plan can succeed without the participation of students, parents and citizens in the community. You are invited to be a part of the Coalition and join in the effort to create and maintain safe,
healthy schools and neighborhoods.
