Who We Are:

We are local community members that includes parents, teachers, law enforcement, local businesses, religious leaders, health providers and other community activists with the united goal of preventing substance misuse. Our mission is to educate, advocate, and support our community in preventing substance use and promoting healthy lifestyles through collaboration and coordinated local resources.

We strive to prevent substance use and improve mental health for our youth by reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors through evidence-based programs and strategies, while providing access to prevention tools and resources to all members of our community.

The Prevention Advisory Coalition honored Stewart’s Marketplace and Juvenile Justice & Youth Services for their longstanding commitment to our community.

Accepting the award for Stewart’s Marketplace is Tyson Stewart, Trent Bolton, and Mark Stewart. Award given by PAC Union Chairperson, Achell Fowler.

PAC Awards Juvenile Justice & Youth Services

Accepting the award for Juvenile Justice & Youth Services is Amanda Craft and Mark Durrant. Award given by PAC Uintah Chairperson, Rafe Dudley.

We use the Communities that Care (CTC) framework to guide our coalition structure and processes. Using prevention science, CTC promotes healthy youth development, improves youth outcomes, and reduces problem behaviors.

We hold monthly coalition meetings at the Vernal and Roosevelt Northeastern Counseling Center offices.
