The PRC works with coalitions across 21-counties of Southwest Missouri, offering training, technical assistance, and support to help them prevent substance use and related consequences in their local community. They do this through implementation of the Strategic Prevention Framework to build resilience and improve the community. Coalitions are open to the community and involvement is encouraged. You can learn more about our coalitions on our coalitions webpage.
