Our Coalition meets the second Tuesday of each month from 6:30pm to 8pm at Holliston Youth and Family Services. **Please note that due to the Pandemic our meetings are now virtual. Please email hdaacoalition@gmail.com if you would like the link to join us. All are welcome. **
At our meetings, we share an open and honest dialogue on the high-risk behaviors, substance use, and abuse issues confronting Holliston - both our youth and our community as a whole. The meetings are regularly attended by Holliston community leaders, parents, school leaders and other members of the community.
HDAAC members discuss biological, psychological, and legal consequences of underage substance use and how their prevention work can positively impact Holliston youth and adults. Research shows that multi-sector, multi-strategy approaches to substance abuse prevention, implemented by community coalitions, reduce alcohol and other drug use significantly. Our members are committed to implementing Environmental Prevention Strategies that impact access and availability, policy and enforcement, media advocacy, and community norms.
The coalition routinely hosts events to foster the educational and collaborative nature of its mission.
