Fayette Prevention Coalition

The Fayette Prevention Coalition is an opportunity for individuals, organizations and agencies to come together to work on the issues surrounding the drug epidemic across the continuum of care including prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery.

How the Coalition Started

The Fayette Prevention Coalition was formed from the growing need to address issues related to the drug crisis in Fayette County. The coalition works closely with schools, organizations and the county government to educate the community on the drug epidemic and harness positive partnerships to create change.
