A COMMUNITY COALITION

Prevention Works is a coalition of individuals and organizations who have joined forces to combat substance abuse in greater Kalamazoo. Our mission is to provide collaborative support for neighborhood efforts aimed at substance abuse prevention. Prevention Works was formed through the efforts of Community Prevention Partnership, the Kalamazoo County Drug Council, Kalamazoo County Human Services Department and the Greater Kalamazoo United Way in 1995.

COMMUNITY-BASED PREVENTION

Prevention Works believes that our community can make our streets and neighborhoods safer, healthier places to live and work.

Three Principles support our belief:

* Drug abuse is a community problem with community solutions.

* Prevention is the key to reducing drug abuse.

* When individuals and organizations work together they will succeed where separate and isolated efforts will fail.

PREVENTION WORKS OFFERS:
