6. Substance Abuse Prevention

We are working toward engaging community to address youth substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment. We aim to create partnerships among youth, families, school, police, fire department, youth-serving organizations and local businesses.

The Northborough-Southborough Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition (NSSAPC) is comprised of community members from both towns working together to reduce substance abuse and offer information for those needing substance abuse treatment. NSSAPC utilizes evidence-based strategies to promote healthy choices, educate the community, and foster resiliency for those in recovery. As a community, we believe it is our collective responsibility to take an active role in substance abuse prevention and be responsive and supportive to those struggling with addiction.
