What is Prevention Partnership?

A community collaboration formed in 1999 following the award of a Drug-Free Community Coalition Grant through the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services and Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties.

The Mission: To embrace a collaborative and coordinated approach towards community action to reduce the number of youth and adults who engage in substance abuse and other risky behavior in Sandusky County.  

Focus:  To create environmental change as related to underage drinking by influencing community standards, institutions, structures, and attitudes that shape individuals' behaviors.
