Local Prevention Councils

volunteers meetingThe Valley's Local Prevention Councils (known as LPC's) are a network of grassroots committees that work to engage citizens in the Valley Substance Abuse Action Council's prevention efforts at the local level. 

The goals of the Local Prevention Council are to increase public awareness, to disseminate information, and to implement prevention activities focusing on youth.  The individuals who work with the LPC's are volunteers from every sector of the community including parents, educators medical professionals, business people, and concerned citizens.  Each LPC runs on small grant funding provided by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
