Welcome to the Saginaw County Prevention Coalition

Founded by our beloved community of youth, families, schools, libraries, coaches, emergency personnel, faith-based organizations, businesses, and civic groups, the Saginaw County Prevention Coalition (SCPC) partners with over twenty organizations and initiatives in and around Saginaw County, Michigan, to help reduce youth substance misuse and build a brighter future for our entire community.

Saginaw County Prevention Coalition

SCPC is a community coalition of youth, parents, schools, coaches, librarians, doctors, nurses, police officers, faith based organizations, business owners, civic groups, and community members who want to prevent youth substance use.

Our Saginaw community have organized a SCPC coalition. Together, the SCPC has more than 1,000 volunteers donating time and energy. Anyone age 10 and up can join by working on a project, helping at an event, or coming to a meeting. Our strength comes from our members as we work to create positive changes in our community

Let’s Stop Drug & Alcohol Usage

Relevant for Community

Kids who use drugs or alcohol are more likely to have problems with school, health, family, friends, and law enforcement.

They’re more likely to get in physical fights and car crashes. They’re more likely to suffer from memory and learning problems. They’re more likely to engage in high risk sexual behavior. And the earlier they start using, the more likely they are to develop addiction.

Importance for Community

YOUTH SUBSTANCE MISUSE IN THE UNITED STATES

In 2020, around 4.1% of Americans aged 12-17 (nearly 11.4 million) claimed they binge drank in the past month, while roughly 10.1% (nearly 28 million) reported using marijuana within the past year.
