We empower and amplify community voices.

TxSDY and Coalition partners gathered for Advocacy Day Training

Communities

Protecting Texas youth from the harms of substance use starts with all of us. When communities are informed and empowered, real change happens. With facts, data, and practical tools, we help parents, leaders, and neighbors take action to keep kids healthy and safe.

Coalitions

Collaboration drives change.

When we work together, we can protect the most vulnerable Texans from the effects and consequences of substance use. Coalitions help us come together to achieve that goal.

How Coalitions Make a Difference

Coalitions unite community members and organizations to create real change. By working together, they help to:

Bring people together to address local and statewide substance use challenges
Build partnerships across schools, nonprofits, law enforcement, and health organizations
Prevent youth substance use and reduce its serious consequences, including addiction, school dropout, teen pregnancy, sexual assault, and impaired driving
Empower communities to take coordinated action that protects and supports young people
