The  Waterford Community Coalition is a prevention coalition and we understand that prevention includes many different elements.
 
The WCC helps promote health and well-being with evidence-based prevention and early-intervention strategies which reduce both the incidence of mental health and substance use conditions.

Strengthening an individual’s mental health and promoting resilience to handling life’s stressors not only reduces the risk of mental and substance use conditions but contributes to improved general health, well-being, productivity, and a healthier community. We work with all sectors of our community because we know that we can accomplish amazing things when we all come together.
