Wheeling, WV - The
Ohio County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition has been in existence since
2005 and over the years, it has evolved and expanded in its ability to promote
positive change and impact the community.
Members are proud of their collective accomplishments, thus far, and
they want to pave the way for maximum impact.
The members of the community-based group decided it was time for a new
name and logo to reflect the group’s change and growth. The coalition’s goals
remain the same, however, as science progresses and more is known, the group
has adapted existing strategies and developed new ones. Lessons learned make the organization older
and wiser. Furthermore, a name change
would allow the group to be open to the possibility of expanding its goals in
the future.
Coalition participants view the
group as a true community-based coalition driven by community members with the
support of key leaders! We are a community up organization not a
leadership down organization. This is the best recipe for real and
lasting change! Come join us as we
celebrate our past and renew our commitment to positively impacting youth and
families in Ohio County.
