DFC - The goals of the Coalition are: (1) establish and strengthen collaboration among Humboldt County's Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Prevention Coalition's partner organizations in support of the community's effort to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth; and (2) reduce substance abuse among youth in Humboldt County, CA, and, over time, reduce substance abuse among adults by addressing the issues in our community that increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse. The Coalition will achieve its goals by implementing these strategies: (1) Limit pro-alcohol messages in the community through promoting policy change at community organizations to reduce the role of alcohol at public events. (2) Sponsor community training on successful fundraising as an alternative to traditional promotion of alcohol sales. (3) Conduct population level education targeting families and youth serving organizations with outreach, media, and community organizing about the harms associated with regular marijuana use and second hand smoke. (4) Advocate for smoke free policies, addressing marijuana and tobacco second hand smoke, through regular collaboration with the tobacco prevention community coalition.
