Rhode Island Regional Coalitions | Prevention and Health Promotion for Life

Why Regionalization? Bringing together the 34 Rhode Island community coalitions to form seven regional coalitions helps strengthen prevention programs and health promotion efforts statewide through the ammortization of both human and physical resources.

What is Prevention? The Coalitions are a collective of parents, educators, government officials, law enforcement and community members that use proven prevention methods to help promote safe, healthy and thriving communities.

Raising Healthy Kids As parents, raising healthy children today involves more than just good nutrition and sleep habits. Monitoring kids� technology use, talking with your teens about drugs and alcohol, and teaching ways to handle stress are equally vital.

Promoting Healthy Lifestyles It�s more than reducing substance abuse in Rhode Island. The Coalitions develop programs, provide information and resources promoting healthier lifestyles for families, schools and communities.
