Guiding Good Choices Parent Workshop

The coalition offers the Guiding Good Choices Parent Workshop to community members. The coalition has partnered with Haven House to offer this workshop to clients as well as Butler County Children’s Division to offer the workshop to families and foster parents. This workshop teaches parents what they can do to help prevent substance use with their children by educating caregivers on Risk and Protective factors.

Media Campaigns

The Coalition uses media campaigns to educate the community on the data surrounding youth substance use, along with effective practices to prevent substance use among youth.

 

 

Peace Builders

The coalition was able to acquire funds to purchase the Peacebuilders Curriculum for four local elementary schools.

This curriculum is for Elementary age students to help them learn ways to create safe and peaceful environments.
