Healthy lamoille valley (hlv) - hlv's primary focus is preventing substance abuse among youth and young adults. Included in hlv's programs are the following: northern vt prevention coalition: hlv connects multiple sectors of the northeastern vermont community - including businesses, parents/guardians, media, law enforcement, schools, faith organization, health providers, social service agencies and government - to collaborate and develop plans, policies, and strategies to achieve reductions in the rates of consumption at the community level. Roessner foundation - this foundation funded efforts to explore and implement substance abuse prevention curriculum at the elementary school level in lamoille valley. Drug free community - this project's two main goals are to build coalition capacity and reduce youth substance misuse. This is done through a variety of interventions with youth, parents, schools, businesses, the medical community, and towns. Tobacco prevention - consists of a community collaborative meeting regularly to address tobacco use and second-hand smoke, share cessation opportunities and prevent youth initiation. Vape prevention - efforts to address vaping are coordinated through this programming; they focus on 1) individual-level interventions, 2) school- level interventions, and/or 3) community-level interventions and use evidence-based approaches and related strategies to continue to build a coordinated state effort using effective strategies, programs and policies to prevent vaping among youth in vermont.
