The purpose of the Coalition for Substance Free Resiliency is to foster collaboration and initiatives aimed at promoting substance-free lifestyles through youth prevention, harm reduction, and recovery capital. CSFR endeavors to develop, advocate for, and implement evidence-based and data-driven strategies that support individuals and communities in resisting substance use, overcoming substance misuse and enhancing their overall well-being.

Our Goals
Youth Prevention – We reduce substance use among youth by strengthening protective factors and reducing risk factors for young people in our community. Using the 40 Developmental Assets framework, we promote positive relationships, educational opportunities, and social-emotional skills that empower youth to make healthy, substance-free choices and grow into resilient, responsible adults.
Harm Reduction – We develop partnerships that reduce the harms associated with substance use and prevent opioid overdoses in our community. Through these collaborative efforts, we provide life-saving services such as workplace naloxone (Narcan) trainings, safe prescription drug and sharps disposal, harm reduction stations, and accessible recovery resource guides.
Recovery Capital – We create and promote opportunities that equip individuals to sustain long-term recovery and wellness. By bringing together people and organizations that support local treatment and recovery services, we strengthen the systems that help individuals thrive. This year, our focus is on expanding access to stable housing and employment.
