Prevention

One eighty is a registered community coalition through the Eastern Region’s Prevention Resource Center (RSC) at NCADA. The PRC works with grassroots community organizations addressing substance abuse in their local areas. Coalitions like One-Eighty are comprised of various members of the community, including parents, youth, business, service organizations, media, government, healthcare professionals, faith based, schools, senior citizens, service organizations, law enforcement and social services. PRC staff provides technical assistance, training, resources and education about substance abuse awareness to the Coalitions.

The One-Eighty Prevention Coalition works to educate and provide prevention resources to the re-entry community in St. Charles County. This includes ex-offenders, their families, and citizens concerned about their community.

The goals of the One-Eighty prevention coalition are:

1. Engage the community in prevention activities and presentations.
2. Create awareness of increased addiction risks to children and families of incarcerated individuals.
3. Facilitate collaborative efforts of One-eighty member organizations toward substance abuse prevention.

The types of activities we facilitate include:

• Community Forums – awareness events
