When community members have already begun to take action against substance abuse but could use some guidance and technical assistance.
When coalition members could benefit from objective facilitation about working with the diverse sectors of your community.
When coalition members want to increase capacity and community participation.
When your community already has a successful coalition and would like to learn more about sustaining the positive impacts and outcomes.
When you want to connect to others in the field who may have additional resources.
