County Coalition Project Directors from Region One WV decided they want to host a Substance Abuse Prevention Luncheon. The WV Statewide Prevention System includes all county coalitions, WV Prevention Resource Center and the WV Partnership to Promote Community Well-Being. The Partnership to Promote Comunity Well-Being is composed of members of state government and community agencies with a stake in prevention. Some of our coalition members have a counterpart at the state level representing them as they help with our community work . In order to sustain this prevention system, already in place, county coalitions across WV support codification of the partnership.
OCSAPC has the opportunity to host several WV legislators, Wheeling city officials, coalition directors and the community for a luncheon Sept. 10. We and the other county project directors aim to show off our activities and accomplishments in hopes to show the importance of prevention in WV. Wayne Coombs, Executive Director WV Prevention Resource Center, will address the group on the cost of substance abuse and the importance of state level support to continuing the statewide comprehensive prevention plan. It's very exciting and we will keep you posted on our progress.
