About Community-Based Prevention
ESD 112 is the fiscal agent and convener for eleven different substance abuse prevention coalitions serving unique communities within the ESD 112 Region. The coalitions are comprised of community members and organizations working together towards a common goal of building a safe, healthy and drug free community.
