Neighbors Building Neighborhoods serves Muskogee County and Wagoner County, OK. The goals of the PFS project are to address risk factors and gaps in mental health services for youth (ages 9-18 years) and their parents; identify and implement substance use prevention strategies in Muskogee and Wagoner Counties, OK; and to establish and strengthen community collaboration in support of local efforts to prevent youth substance use. NBN will utilize a mix of evidence-based prevention programs, policies, and practices to address the four identified gaps in infrastructure and the targeted youth populations. The coalition will achieve its goals by implementing the following four objectives. (1) Enhance strategic collaboration between prevention programs and local schools to address youth alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and prescription drug misuse. (2) Increase awareness & decrease stigma related to prevention and mental health resources for youth & youth influencers (parents, coaches, grandparents, etc). (3) Enhance community collaboration to create a prevention-focused & trauma informed system of care. (4) Reduce alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and prescription drug use among youth in Muskogee & Wagoner Counties, OK through coalition strategies and community partnerships. Muskogee & Wagoner County youth, ages 9-18, are the primary focus of our PFS project. Our secondary population are the influencers of youth; parents, grandparents, teachers, community leaders, coaches, healthcare workers, media, etc
