The goals of the LifeWorks CAN coalition are to establish and strengthen community collaboration in support of local efforts to prevent youth substance use. The coalition will achieve its goals by implementing environmental strategies which are based on evidence that substance abuse is a product of multiple environmental conditions and circumstances. Environmental strategies incorporate prevention efforts aimed at changing or influencing community conditions, standards, institutions, structures, systems, and policies. More specifically, environmental strategies seek to: (1) limit access to substances; (2) change the culture and context within which decisions about substance use are made; and/or (3) shift the consequences associated with youth substance use. Examples can be found in the table below. The LifeWorks CAN will achieve the DFC program goals through: - Community organizing and coalition efforts specific to the LGBT community - Advocacy and policy change through the LGBT community - Media outreach with LGBT radio and newspaper outlets - Bi-lingual information dissemination - Community forums and events - Data collection, assessment and needs-based strategic planning for the LGBT community
