Thank you Regional Youth Prevention Network!!

This week's coalition partner spotlight is DanversCARES!

DanversCARES is a dynamic community-based coalition focused on positive youth development. Through collaboration with community partners, the coalition strives to implement evidence-based prevention and educational programming in the community in the area of youth mental health, substance use and healthy decision-making. DanversCARES is a program of the Town of Danvers, managed by Danvers Public Schools.

The coalition works in close partnership with the Regional Youth Prevention Network to share prevention resources and best practices. In addition to the coalition, DanversCARES Youth Leadership Clubs are facilitated at middle and high school levels and available to any student who is interested in this mission! Youth meet regularly to get involved with community initiatives supporting student wellness. Check out their website to learn more: https://danverscares.org/

Thank you to DanversCARES for your commitment to fostering collaborative dialogue, prioritizing community concerns, and actively working with partners to support the health and wellness of our community.
