The Justice Initiative Work Group is comprised of individuals with lived experience, clinicians, service providers, and representatives from law enforcement and other first responder and mobile crisis response teams. This work group focuses on training and education, supportive resources, and initiatives that promote a safer and healthier community through improved partnerships, increased collaborations
and the enhancement of coordinated care.
Meetings are virtual the first Tuesday of each month at 2 pm. This work group is chaired by Megan Tyler of Sacred Spaces of CARE (mtyler@sacredspacesofcare.org) who is available for questions should you like to learn more.
Strategic Planning Work Group
The Strategic Planning Work Group focuses on identifying emerging trends, assessing potential community impact, and mobilizing partnership members and resources that can quickly provide education, outreach, and distribution of information for affected sectors in the community. The SPWG is continuously working to strengthen the capacity of the coalition to help identify and address issues within St. Clair and Madison counties. Activities and group focus is guided by Strategic Prevention Framework model.
The SPWG meets the first Tuesday of the month, please email PartnershipDrugFreeCommunities@gmail.com to join.

The Drug Endangered Children Work Group focuses on supporting children of all ages who are impacted by the misuse of substances. This work group is just getting started and is looking for members with ideas and passion for supporting youth in Madison and St. Clair counties.
