The CARE Coalition is a nonprofit organization that provides awareness, education and treatment to members of the community regarding the number one health problem in Nevada: alcohol and drug abuse. This epidemic affects our children, family units on a whole and the community at large. The goal of the foundation is to reduce the number of first time drug users in the community and to provide a resource for those individuals who are currently struggling with addiction to find help. We work towards this goal each year by doing the following:
We increase awareness: We attend health fairs, churches, and community events informing the public of the scale of this epidemic. To that end, The CARE Coalition was created in an effort to increase community involvement and disseminate information to all of Clark County.
We do prevention: We create booklets that address underage drinking and drug abuse that fit within the Clark County School District curriculum. Our handbooks, manuals, and free awareness and prevention trainings has reached over 10,000 students, parents, and staff.
