CARE Coalition

CARE Coalition’s mission is to increase public awareness of the effects of drug and alcohol abuse by educating and supporting youth, adults, the community at large and drug prevention agencies in Clark County; thus identifying and promoting healthy behaviors and reducing substance abuse in our community.

Our vision is to provide a significant reduction in drug and alcohol abuse among the youth and families in our community by supporting and promoting a substance-free environment. The CARE Coalition brings together organizations and individuals who provide services and resources that help youth and families create positive and supportive environments that lead to resiliency and self-empowerment. The CARE Coalition is a nonprofit organization that provides awareness, and education to members of the community regarding the number one health problem in Nevada: alcohol and drug abuse. The goal of the coalition is to reduce the number of first-time drug users in the community and to provide a resource for at-risk individuals to build their capacity and resilience. The Coalition has community members and partners from the youth; local business; healthcare professionals; educators; media; law enforcement; youth organizations; parents; religious, fraternal and civic organizations; schools; volunteer groups; and state, local and tribal agencies-communities.
