The Coalition was founded by concerned local citizens in 1998 to support healthy youth development and protect against problem behaviors in adolescence by reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors in children’s lives.
In 2011, the Center for Prevention and Counseling was awarded State funds from the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services to develop evidenced-based substance abuse prevention strategies that target at-risk groups in Sussex and Warren counties. CFPC now partners with Family Guidance Center of Warren County to serve the two county region. To reflect its new reach beyond county borders, the Coalition has changed its name to the Coalition for Healthy and Safe Communities. Based on current data, Coalition members implement strategies that have proven to reduce substance use among youth and adults. All community members are welcome to join the Coalition's efforts to keep our neighborhoods healthy and safe for everyone. For more information
