Coalition

A community wide partnership whose focus is to prevent and reduce youth substance use and promote and grow healthy positive youth norms. As a community, we promote open dialogue, education, and coordination of appropriate resources. The Coalition is involved in Open Gym nights, community speakers, youth and parent education, and data collection.

"I think it’s wonderful that the Tri-Town Council, along with the Masconomet Health Advisory Council, helped pull together the Mass Youth-At-Risk Behavior survey last spring. The survey was given to hundreds of kids at the Masco middle and high school and its purpose was to obtain information from the kids regarding their participation in risky behaviors, like; alcohol and drug use; sexual activity; depression; self-injury and nutritional and physical activity levels. The results will help identify strengths and weaknesses in our towns and help guide prevention planning in the schools and the community. Thank you!"
