The Coalition to Eliminate the Abuse of Substances (CEASe) of Scott County is the local Coordinating Coalition that coordinates local action to prevent substance abuse in Scott County using the Strategic Prevention Framework process to establish goals, track progress, and adjust community efforts as needed. We know that substance use prevention will transform our communities, so we continue to build resilience by providing safe and healthy activities for youth, as well as a trauma-informed community. Our Coalition works to engage a wide range of organizations, including schools, law enforcement, health care and mental health providers, social service agencies, workplaces, and the faith community. CEASe operates on a 12-month action plan focusing on increasing community collaboration within our coalition and preventing and reducing prescription drug misuse and decreasing alcohol use among youth.
