Mason County Prevention Coalition

Mason County Prevention Coalition Our Mission
We serve all children and their families. This meeting is open to the public.

We define “Family” as people who work together and take the responsibility for and care for one another by protecting, nurturing, supporting, and educating. The Mason County Anti-Drug Coalition is funded by a Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant of the WVDHHR Bureau of Behavioral Health. Prevention of drug use, including alcohol and drug use are centered around utilizing environmen

tal strategies, social marketing and educational programs to address underage drinking and prescription drug misuse and abuse. The coalition is made up of volunteers in the community that represent health, law, education, community leaders, faith based centers, youth, parents, mental health and public health. The Mason County Anti-Drug Coalition meets monthly on the second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 pm at the Courthouse Annex Auditorium. Each meeting provides an educational component as well as planning for community events in the area of prevention.

See the Person. Support the Journey.

Mental health is part of everyday life. It shapes how we think, feel, connect with others, and move through the world. This year’s theme highlights the importance of:

Noticing early signs of mental health concerns
Strengthening the support around us
Responding with care and compassion during challenging moments
Mental health touches every part of life — from housing and work to relationships and community. When mental health challenges arise, they often intersect with substance use, and whole person care that addresses both is essential to lasting recovery and well-being.

This is scheduled for May 6. If anyone is interested scan the code or let me know. Thank you.

Every story matters. Every voice deserves to be heard. Every life deserves dignity, justice, and healing.

This is our call to action:
Listen. Act. Advocate. Protect victims, serve communities.

At Crime Survivors Resource Center, we are committed—every single day—to standing in the gap, walking alongside survivors, and ensuring no one feels alone.

Because awareness is not enough…
Action is where change begins.
