Campus-Community Coalitions: Partnering with Higher Education Institutions to Enhance Prevention Efforts
Thursday, Apr. 21
3:00-4:30 p.m. EST
Campus-community coalitions are vehicles used to prevent substance abuse and other community health issues at the population-level across college campuses and in the surrounding community. By bringing together key on-campus and off-campus sector representatives, invested individual stakeholders, and other organizations affected by the problem, coalitions can implement a comprehensive set of strategies to change conditions in the community that contribute to local substance abuse problems. Campus-community coalitions act as change agents by leveraging shared resources to bring about new or modified programs, policies and practices.
