United We Stand
Drug Free Action Alliance formed the Statewide Prevention Coalition Association (SPCA) to unite substance abuse prevention coalitions and organizations through collaboration and sharing of resources to promote prevention for a safe, healthy and drug-free Ohio.
SPCA members have an opportunity to network with many other coalitions at unique stages of growth and development. They share knowledge and resources to help them strengthen and sustain their infrastructure. Members also receive practical information about effective strategies and initiatives, which engage the community and create environmental change.
