New Hampshire Coalitions

Coalitions play a crucial role in public health prevention by bringing together different community members to build programs, advocate for policy changes, and offer services.

In New Hampshire, with support from the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant, coalitions can engage 12 sectors of their local community to address youth health issues. These groups focus on concerns such as substance use, behavioral health, violence reduction, and promoting racial justice and equity, among other important topics. The following resources can help you connect with your local coalition and start a prevention partnership today.
