About

 

Somerville Cares About Prevention, a community based coalition supported by the City's Health Department, works to reduce substance abuse, as well as the harms associated with such use among Somerville residents with a particular focus on youth.
 
Our goals are to:
  • Reduce underage drinking and drug use
  • Mobilize community members to help protect youth and influence them to make positive choices
  • Increase knowledge of risks associated with substance use
  • Increase knowledge of protective factors that can help youth avoid substance use
