East Bay Regional Coalition

East Bay Regional Coalition This broader scope is expected to improve the overall health and wellness for parents, children and our communities.

The East Bay Regional Coalition includes the municipalities of Barrington, Bristol, East Providence, and Warren and strives to promote wellness and prevent substance misuse. The creation of the regional coalition structure will allow cities and towns to revitalize the interrelationship of prevention work with an expanded focus on the total lifespan and its effects on children and families. While p

revention activities have mainly focused on risk factors, we know supporting the protective factors is equally important – things like positive parent-child relationships, effective communication, resiliency and skill development like limit setting – and are all things families and our community address throughout the lifespan. The regional coalition structure will not only help prevent substance use and abuse, but will also help increase healthy choices and healthier lifestyles. Our goal is to increase physical activity, improve self-image, enhance self-control, expand involvement in sports as well as improve healthy eating, sleeping, stress management, and build stronger relationships. These are all critical elements to living a substance-free life, and allow our communities to maximize our potential for happiness, productivity and life. The regionalization of prevention in Rhode Island has allowed for the incorporation of health promotion which recognizes:

Positive healthy lifestyle for prevention of substance misuse

Destigmatizing of mental illness and the impacts that can result

Foundations of early measures for families for substance misuse

Importance of stress reduction and support networks

Whole lifespan of a child and how to build good decision making, limits and self-control

Regionalization. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and difference for our communities.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is a reminder that every older adult deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect.

Too many seniors experience abuse, neglect, isolation, or exploitation, often in silence. Today, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of protecting and supporting the older adults in our communities.

A simple check-in, a listening ear, or speaking up when something doesn't seem right can make a meaningful difference. Together, we can help create a world where people of all ages feel safe, valued, and cared for.

Kindness has no age limit. 🫶
