Commack Coalition of Caring


The Commack Coalition of Caring, through a dedicated group of parents, school professionals, experts in substance abuse, and community leaders, will be concerned with the development of the whole child in helping to prevent substance use and abuse. The Coalition recognizes the important influences of the child's environment and is focused on interventions beyond the school setting.
	*Goals*
	Connect Coalition activities with established events (e.g. sports activities, musical and theatrical performances, etc.) for the dissemination of information to parents and students. Assist parents in developing strategies and skills for the prevention of substance abuse. Strengthen the Coalition's functioning through the COMPASS Training Program.
