Huron County Prevention Coalition

HCPH is a subcontractor of Sandusky County Public Health for this grant. The purpose of this program is to help reduce the onset and progression of substance misuse and its related problems by supporting the development and delivery of community-based substance misuse prevention and mental health promotion services.

 

The program is intended to expand and strengthen the capacity of local community prevention providers to implement evidence-based prevention programs. HCPH's substances of focus are nicotine vaping and marijuana. 

HCPH is direct-funded for this grant through the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). HCPH's areas of focus include: Reducing access to lethal means, CALM training, and Signs of Suicide training. 

​

For Reducing Access to Lethal Means, we have partnered with area agencies to give out free gun safes and cable locks. 

​

HCPH has contracted with CALM America to provide training to area medical providers. 

​

HCPH is working to implement Signs of Suicide Training in our local Huron County schools.
