We work together to address prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.
The Butler County Prevention Coalition and Addiction Taskforce is designed to foster cross-sector collaboration and co-creation of strategies that work in addressing substance use in our community. The Butler County Prevention Coalition, Mental Health Addiction and Recovery Services Board, and Health District have come together to streamline our work and join with community partners to make a bigger impact. Our goals are to share information across sectors with feedback loop to address complex intersection of issues, monitor data for emerging trends, to create adaptive solutions, & to measure results, and align resources, strategies, & policies.

Thanks to Prevention Action Alliance for sharing helpful resources like this!
"Summer brings a break from school and more ways for young people to enjoy their free time. More freedom, social activities, and independence can be exciting, but they can also create opportunities for risky behaviors, including alcohol and other drug use. Summer should be fun for kids, but it should also be safe. As a caring adult, you can help the young people in your life make healthy choices while still enjoying all that summer has to offer."

Healing from mental health and substance use issues is not just the absence of symptoms. It is a stable home, meaningful connection, and the tools to move forward. That is the promise of whole-person care. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support

Sometimes the most important step is listening. Taking time to listen to the concerns of a young person in your life can help them feel safe sharing what they’re experiencing. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/children-and-families

You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Peer-based recovery support & community centers connect people who get it—sharing stories, hope, and recovery. Don't be afraid to reach out for support. SAMHSA has resources to help: samhsa.gov/substance-use/treatment

Recovery is more than sobriety. It’s rebuilding your future. While seeking treatment, education & job-support services can help you gain meaning and independence.
There are multiple pathways to recovery: clinical care, community support, therapy, faith, self-management. What matters most is finding what works for you. This , find your path!
