History

The Natrona County Prevention Coalition (澳门全球最大的博彩平台) was formed by Mercer House (now known as Mercer Family Resource Center) in July 2002 to address growing concerns about substance abuse in the community.  Today, 澳门全球最大的博彩平台 is a thriving coalition of over 50 members agencies, businesses, and concerned citizens.  

Historically, 澳门全球最大的博彩平台 has been responsible for conducting and holding multiple substance-free events for the community throughout the year.  Mercer Family Resource Center is the lead agency for 澳门全球最大的博彩平台 and acts as the Coalition's fiscal agent. Mercer Family Resource Center provides education, counseling, and prevention services that build stronger and healthier youth and families in our community.

Funding for 澳门全球最大的博彩平台 first came from the Drug Free Communities Grant; a Federal Grant which assisted with the creation of the coalition and the development strategies for community-wide substance abuse prevention.  The 21st Century State Incentive Grant focused on reducing substance use and abuse with community-wide environmental strategies and provided afterschool programming.  This two-pronged approach has been the organizational structure since 澳门全球最大的博彩平台's inception.

Throughout the years, 澳门全球最大的博彩平台 has received the following Federal and State grants to work towards providing healthy and positive choices in the community, while decreasing substance use:

  • 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) - Cohorts 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12

  • Drug Free Communities - Years 1-5 & 6-10

  • STOP Act Now

  • Strategic Prevention Framework

  • NASA

  • CORE

Money from local foundations has been received along with business grants, including: Blue Envelope Health Fund, City of Casper Promotions, the McMurry Foundation, Walmart, the Wyoming Community Foundation, and Zimmerman Foundation.  Additional support has come in the form of donations, volunteers, partnerships, and community involvement. 

澳门全球最大的博彩平台 members meet monthly to share their personal and/or respective agency's efforts toward the Coalition's mission.  Monthly meeting allow for consistent assessment of coalition goals and activities, provides the opportunity for members and their agencies to seek coalition support, and helps ensure agencies' efforts aren't being duplicated.
