Our Primary Goals
Increase Community Voice and Involvement
It's been said... "It takes a village to raise a child." A community coalition like Park Hill CAFY seeks to pull together individuals to collectively establish a comprehensive plan to keep our kids healthy, safe, and drug free!
Decrease Youth Substance Use
Across the past several decades we have seen rapid growth in Prevention Science. This field as well as others have taught us so much about how the youth brain develops and what actions we can take that will truly work to keep our kids healthy and drug free. Our coalition seeks to balance the scales for our kids by reducing RISK Factors and increasing PROTECTIVE factors.
