Community Living Above

Community Living Above (CLA) is a prevention coalition that implements prevention efforts in the Community. We are dedicated to preventing substance use among youth by collaborating with the Community to raise awareness, modify social norms, educate youth and adults, and promote mental health wellness. We do this by engaging, educating, and empowering youth, families, and communities to make informed decisions by assessing the local conditions, developing a Community coalition that establishes a framework that strengthens collaboration and supports the implementation of activities that prevent youth substance use/misuse, fosters resilience, provides education, resources, and support, and promotes healthy life choices. Our program is built on collaboration. We are creating a safe and nurturing environment for our youth through evidence-based programs, Community engagement, and partnerships with families, schools, and other stakeholders. We believe that working together can empower you
