Chimacum Prevention Coalition
About the Community Prevention and
Wellness Initiative (CPWI):
CPWI is a partnership of state agencies, counties, schools and local
prevention coalitions supporting communities in preventing alcohol
and other drug abuse and its negative consequences. Our highest
priority is to reduce underage drinking among 8th and 10th grade
students. By providing evidence-based practices and promoting the
positive changes in communities, we can build healthier communities.
About Chimacum Prevention Coalition:
Our Community and Our Schools Working Together
The Chimacum Prevention Coalition (CPC) is a volunteer prevention
advocacy organization that brings youth, parents, schools, businesses,
healthcare professionals, youth-serving agencies, law enforcement,
religious/fraternal organizations, civic/volunteer groups, local
government, substance abuse organizations, media and community
members together to work on preventing youth substance use and
abuse in the geographic area specific to the Chimacum School District.
CPC works in collaboration with the Chimacum School District, Olympic
Educational Service District 114, and Jefferson County Public Health.
Founded in the fall of 2013, CPC is governed by citizen volunteers and
representatives from local agencies.
