Community Organization Focuses on Preventing Alcohol and other Drug Use
One of the community partners we work with is Windham County Prevention Partnership (WCPP) which provides coordination of prevention collaboration in our community. These partnerships aim to reduce underage drinking, binge drinking, prescription drug misuse and cannabis use by promoting municipal policy changes, providing opportunities for education and providing referrals to local resources.
Below are the community partners in your area. Contact them to find out what they do and how you can get involved!
