PREVENTION ACTION ALLIANCE
Prevention Action Alliance, a statewide nonprofit working to prevent substance misuse and promote mental health wellness, established the Statewide Prevention Coalition Association (SPCA) to provide infrastructure, training, and technical assistance for coalitions in Ohio. Established in 1995 to serve substance abuse prevention coalitions, SPCA has expanded to serve coalitions working across all problems of practice including suicide, problem gambling and violence prevention. SPCA is a network comprised of more than 60 community coalitions across Ohio. SPCA members retain their own identity while bringing their expertise and resources to other members in pursuit of common goals. Together, members share solutions, support, and show solidarity with each other. SPCA meetings are held every-other-month, feature both in-person and virtual meeting options, and membership is free. In addition to the regular meetings members receive newsletters, advocacy alerts, funding opportunities, discounts to events hosted by Prevention Action Alliance, and more.
