Meet Our
Partners

Alliance for Healthy Communities’ partners are the lifeblood of our coalition. AHC is comprised of individuals and organizations from every sector of our communities. AHC partners collaboratively share resources to create community changes that will lead to reductions in youth substance abuse and its consequences.

Law Enforcement & First Responders

Our Law Enforcement and Medical First Responders are a key asset to our community work. These are the people who are out with the public day in and day out and are a life blood of our community connections. The work we have done with the Police Departments in Ballwin, Chesterfield, Creve Coeur, Manchester, Maryland Heights, and Town and Country with events such as prescription drug take backs, youth leadership programs, town hall events and being a voice on the streets they work is invaluable.

Check out all that our law enforcement partners have to offer.

Prevention Specialists

Prevention specialists provide the technical knowledge and skills necessary to ensure impact on local root causes of youth substance abuse. Effective substance abuse prevention reflects an understanding of local trends in substance abuse and related root causes, community capacities for meaningful action, the ability to plan and implement such actions, and the commitment to evaluate the activity and outcomes. Prevention specialist partners assure AHC’s access to all these capabilities.

Healthcare Professionals

Alliance for Healthy Communities’ Healthcare partners represent a wide range of behavioral medicine professionals working within a variety of settings. These individuals and organizations are involved in all aspects of intervention, treatment and recovery support processes. Thus, they are able to infuse information, insight and compassionate understanding into the content of AHC’s programs.

More of Our Valued Partners

Alliance for Healthy Communities exists because youth substance abuse and its consequences are problems shared by all community stakeholders. Community partners, as individuals or organizations, share in the responsibility, the commitment, the resources and the sacrifices that create the changes necessary to keep kids safe. No one individual or organization has all the answers, nor “eyes and ears” everywhere. To protect our youth from the seduction of drug and alcohol abuse, and the dire consequences at stake, it takes the shared ownership of all community members to create the safety net our kids deserve.

We are a community powered by partnership
