The Prevention Coalition is an awareness organization that promotes, educates, and connects Okeechobee residents to evidence based practices and resources.

The Prevention Coalition focuses on 12-20 yr olds and the reduction of substance use in Okeechobee. The Prevention Coalition is the newest addition to Our Village. Funded by the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network, this Coalition will focus on data gathering to guide prevention activities. Your input is critical as we all work together to reduce substance use among young people in Okeechobee. As part of Our Village the Prevention Coalition mirrors Our Village Mission of providing families with a hand up not a hand out by providing comprehensive spiritual, cultural, social, health and education experiences for our community.

🎃 Use these preventive actions to keep safe this Halloween! 👻

Halloween is about fun, not trips, scares, or lost kiddos. Before you head out trick-or-treating, run through this quick checklist parents often forget.

Stay visible, stay together, and enjoy a safe, spooky night from your friends at the Prevention Coalition!

Today is a busy day for our team! 🙌

Our staff is committed to ongoing training and professional development so we can continue to best serve our community.

Today, our team is attending the 2026 HIDTA Prevention Summit to strengthen our training practices, and our team is attending the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (FYSAS) Meeting to gain first-hand insight into Florida youth and how we can better support them.

We are proud to keep learning, growing, and bringing that knowledge back to our community.

Prevention doesn't have to be complicated — it starts with small, everyday moments at home. 💙

Talk. Listen. Connect. Be the example.

Which one of these 5 will you focus on this week? Let us know in the comments.

Can you spot the v**e in this photo??

Trick or Treat? Can You Spot the V**e?

Not everything that looks like candy is a treat! V**es can be disguised as everyday items, making them difficult to recognize. This Halloween, challenge yourself to spot the v**e and learn how to help keep kids safe.

Take a closer look. Can YOU spot it? **e

STAND UP. SPEAK OUT. STOP BULLYING.

Bullying affects more than just the moment — it impacts mental health, school attendance, and how safe our kids feel in our community.

In Okeechobee County, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and included — at school, online, and in our neighborhoods.

What can we do together?

💙 Be an Upstander, not a bystander. If you see something, say something.
💬 Talk to your kids about kindness, respect, and what to do if they experience or witness bullying.
📱 Check in on online behavior. Cyberbullying is real and it follows kids home.

If you or someone you know needs support, you are not alone. Reach out to a trusted adult, school counselor, or call/text 988 for help.

Let's work together to make Okeechobee County a kinder, safer place for all our youth.
