SFCCP Drug Free Communities Coalition

At SFCCP's Drug-Free Communities Coalition, we are dedicated to creating a healthier community by working with local schools, youth, and policymakers. We provide evidence-based programs like Mental Health First Aid, Too Good For Drugs, and Catch My Breath to all five schools in our district to promote mental health and prevent substance use. We also offer prevention materials to support education and advocate for policies that create healthier environments for youth. By partnering with youth coalitions, we develop strategies to address current trends and empower young people to lead the way in building a stronger, healthier future.
