Northland Prevention Conference

Northland Prevention Conference

The Northland Coalition was formed in 2001 to fulfill the articulated need for better collaboration of substance use prevention programs and strategies throughout the Kansas City Northland. The Coalition meets monthly to strategize and rally support to prevent high risk behaviors among youth including the use of alcohol, tobacco/nicotine, products, marijuana, other illicit drugs, prescription drug misuse, and suicide prevention throughout Clay, Platte and Ray Counties. Since 2001, the Northland Coalition has received both regional and national recognition for their program and policy outcomes.
