Building a Healthier Future
Since 1999, we’ve been serving Chesterfield County, Virginia—a suburban and rural area just south of Richmond with over 387,000 residents. We utilize awareness and education, community partnerships, youth leadership, and advocacy to address substance abuse issues. Our coalition works to create community-level change in behaviors and attitudes related to substance abuse.
We develop our initiatives based on community issues identified through surveys of youths and parents, statistical data such as juvenile alcohol and drug-related arrests, and community input.
