In 2007, the United Way of the Greater Seacoast, along with the cooperative efforts of individuals, educators, and substance abuse experts, helped create the ONE Voice Coalition. Our common purpose was to help prevent underage drinking and substance abuse through education, community mobilization and support of both teenagers and parents.
However, we strive to support the local communities as well—and that's an important distinction. We believe that substance abuse is not an individual issue, but rather a community issue with multiple contributing factors that impact both the individual and the community.
Today, we are proud to say that our regional coalition is engaged in 17 partnerships that focus on enforcement, youth empowerment, prevention training, family outreach and community development.
If you can't find the information you are looking for, or if you need further assistance, feel free to contact us. We are here to help.
The membership will convene at the Great Bay Gallery located on Willand St in Somersworth on March 5th, from 11-1:30. YRBS data and regional work will be the focus of this meeting. An agenda will be forthcoming.
