Coalition Organization
The Sauk County Partnership For Prevention is an alliance of community members and local organizations that are dedicated to preventing the misuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
Our coalition is facilitated by Public Health Sauk County and includes three action teams:
Alcohol/Tobacco Action Team
Plans, implements, and evaluates many strategies to prevent and reduce the underage use of alcohol and/or tobacco/vapes, including: age compliance checks, retailer education, parent/ caregiver education and more!
Prescription Drug Safe Storage/Disposal Action Team
Promotes and evaluates safe medication storage (eg, lockboxes) and disposal (at-home disposal kits, drop boxes, take back events) and educational events for prescribers.
Coalition Member Engagement Action Team
Develops and evaluates a healthy, active coalition made up of members passionate about prevention! Promotes our coalition brand, welcomes new members, and develops member training opportunities.
Our current funding allows for a fulltime coalition coordinator to keep our coalition moving forward. The coordinator helps schedule meetings, provide training, and report out on our impact.
Our coalition supports the Teen Action Council or TAC. The TAC is the youth arm of P4P. Teen members learn more about substance use problems and how they impact teens. Members can help collect information and data about substance use among their peers, plan educational activities and advocate for policy change.
