Program Description: We do not offer programs.
Services Offered: We are a Substance Misuse Prevention Coalition.We do not offer direct services. PACT Coalition works to address substance misuse through the Strategic Prevention Framework community-based process and works in collaboration with its members and partners to address policy, system and environmental change. PACT works to reduce substance misuse across the lifespan by increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors associated with substance misuse.
PACT Coalition works to strengthen community by acting as a neutral convening table and bringing together key stakeholders and decision-makers to address emergent issues and bring about systemic change.
As a community agency, PACT provides education and outreach opportunities for the betterment of Clark County. As a subject matter expert in substance misuse prevention, PACT Coalition seeks to engage community partners in furthering education and understanding in order to increase community buy-in for the importance of prevention.
PACT also acts as a pass-through agency for large state and federal grants, administering sub-awards to local agencies to provide direct, evidence-based prevention programming. By partnering and providing support to agencies who may not have a primary focus in substance misuse prevention, PACT is able to leverage the captured audiences and increase prevention capacity across the county.
