Partners In Prevention is a federally funded (Center for Substance Abuse Prevention), county-wide initiative to prevent drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse (ATODA). Dane County Communities have joined in partnership with communities as well as government, social service agencies, law enforcement, education, and business to help prevent substance abuse and encourage healthy lifestyles.

In communities, Partners In Prevention is using a community development/community organizing model to mobilize the community for ATODA prevention. This model helps reflect the unique resources and skills of a community, and supports community efforts to meet that community's needs.

Is your community interested in organizing efforts around ATODA prevention?

• community meetings

• goal setting, mission, vision statements
• community assessment
