Reading Coalition for Prevention & Support

Reading Coalition for Prevention & Support We have many of the pieces in place, including a dedicated and diverse Reading Coalition Board, and highly qualified staff.

We are a coalition of youth & adults living and working in Reading, MA who promote a safe, healthy, vibrant community in which everyone makes healthy decisions and ensures that today's resources shape tomorrow's strengths. There have been many strides to reduce risky behaviors amongst Reading teenagers including a strong commitment from involved parents, dynamic educators, student support professionals, school leaders, committed coaches, faith leaders, afterschool professionals, healthcare workers, and other caring adults. “Progress is being made but as a community we have much more to do. Additional recognition by the broader community of youth substance abuse issues will be a key to further success.”

Calling for submissions for our Reading Poetry Prize Contest, a powerful opportunity for teens to express themselves creatively through poetry. This year’s theme centers on mental health awareness, with prompts like “May you remember” and “You are not alone” designed to spark meaningful reflection and dialogue. The contest will culminate in our Time to Gather event on September 17—a heartfelt gathering to honor those we've lost to su***de and substance misuse, while fostering healing, connection, and hope within our community.
