The coalition meets monthly to focus on collaborative, community efforts employing prevention-based programs and strategies to reduce youth substance use in our rural community. As a coalition, we host and support positive school and community events to provide not only education, but a safe environment for youth. Events including town hall meetings, community forums, open houses, and school programs are commonly supported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the coalition is in a rural community with limited resources, which can pose a challenge, coalition members are creative in their efforts to exercise prevention measures,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cThe coalition prides itself on using members&#8217; strengths to effectively carry out the mission to reduce youth substance use. One characteristic that sets our coalition apart is the active representation of the faith-based community. Local church members and pastors not only show support but stay actively engaged by hosting events and lending transportation services. By building and maintaining important relationships with local churches, businesses, the school system and elected officials, our coalition\u2019s and mission is continuously supported, providing sustainability for future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main issue our coalition is currently facing is not getting to engage in fellowship with each other,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cBecause Owen County is a tight knit community, we love getting together to discuss and implement tasks at hand and to have a genuine relationship with our members. It took a few months to shift gears and figure out how we would carry out our action plan during the pandemic, however, we learned to get creative and work with community partners to fulfill the mission and vision of the coalition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur coalition has worked to safely engage members through educational emails on CADCA\u2019s Seven Strategies of Community Change and how these strategies relate to tobacco and alcohol (our focus substances) as well as the coronavirus,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cWe have also provided information through community-wide drive thru food distributions and back to school events, distributed medication lock boxes to families, shared information to families about <a href=\"https:\/\/thedinnertableproject.org\/who-we-are\"><strong>The Dinner Table Project<\/strong><\/a>, implemented the <a href=\"https:\/\/prevention.nd.gov\/notinmyhouse\"><strong>Not in my House Campaign<\/strong><\/a> through social media, yard signs and milk stickers, held virtual meetings,\u00a0 worked with law enforcement to establish an anonymous tip line service, worked with community businesses to\u00a0 implement indoor nicotine-free policies and conducted an internal member review process to identify active members, gauge mission and vision conveyance and satisfaction of coalition work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe activity we are most proud of this year is our Not in my House Campaign,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cIt was our first year implementing the campaign and we were excited to tailor it to our community by utilizing the guidance from the developers at North Dakota Prevention Resource and Media Center. Beginning in 2020, the Alcohol Task Force of the Owen County Drug Prevention Coalition kicked off the \u2018Not in my House Campaign\u2019 to help change perceptions and assumptions related to underage alcohol use. The campaign originated in North Dakota, and is currently implemented in Campbell, Grant, Gallatin, Pendleton and Kenton counties by our partners in prevention. We were able to share social media and news messaging with the primary goal of reducing youth social access to alcohol by raising awareness about social host liability and related misperceptions surrounding underage drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best way to approach the issue of underage drinking is for citizens to work in a coordinated effort with their local community leaders, youth, law enforcement and governmental agencies to change the environment that contributes to the problem,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cPeople\u2019s behavior is shaped by their environment, so if we change behavior, we are able to change the environment. The Not in my House campaign is a perfect transition into the education of social host ordinances. We will be hosting an educational virtual Social Host Lunch and Learn in February, where attendees will receive gift cards to local eateries after the meeting. We will kick off our campaign again in March and run it through August.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result of our recent efforts, we feel as if we are branding our coalition as a reputable resource for information, materials and prevention efforts,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cOur coalition has worked hard to reduce access to substances and work toward sustaining community policies. According to our 2018 Kentucky Incentives for Prevention Survey, there was a significant decline in cigarette use amongst 10<sup>el<\/sup> y 12<sup>el<\/sup> graders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur biggest piece of advice for other coalitions is to be creative, be patient and don\u2019t forget to put yourself in the community\u2019s shoes,\u201d said Tuttle. \u201cIt is so easy when working in prevention to be so focused on completing action plans that you forget your passion for the work.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Owen County Drug Prevention
