Portage Substance Abuse Prevention Coaltion - Members and input wanted
The Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services awarded a grant to the Portage County
Mental Health & Recovery Board to build prevention capacity in Portage County and develop a strategic
plan to implement effective programs, policies and practices that will reduce the number of 18-25 year olds
engaged in high risk use of alcohol. Townhall II will implement the grant, including building a community
coalition to guide the project. We are seeking interested community members to be part of the coalition,
especially individuals who represent the following areas and are willing to be engaged in this effort over a
3-year period: Service Organizations, Families, High School Youth, Young Adults ages 18-25, Faith
Community, Businesses, Media, Government representatives, Medical/Health Services, and Senior Citizens
If you are interested in sitting on this coalition, please contact Linda Lann at 330-678-3006
