WELCOME TO WELLNESS COALITION
Improving outcomes in our communities
We educate and empower individuals to make better choices with all aspects of their wellness to create healthier communities by preventing and reducing substance use, educating on mental health, and striving for better wellness.
We coordinate prevention and awareness opportunities for parents, adults, teachers, youth, and community members based on the specific needs of each community:
THE APPROACH OF THE WELLNESS COALITION
Harnessing Environmental Strategies and Evidence Based Practices for Sustainable Community Change
Environmental change and evidence based practices are of significant importance to impact change. After extensive research, experts in prevention have established that when it comes to shaping behavioral and policy changes within communities and municipalities, nothing is more potent and enduring than the impact of environmental changes and evidence based practices. This is precisely why the Wellness Coalition employs environmental strategies and evidence based practices as the driving force behind their projects and activities.
I joined the Wellness Coalition to help increase awareness about the negative effects of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs to make the community a safer place for our children.”
