The DeKalb Prevention Coalition is a community-based organization in Smithville, TN, dedicated to creating a safe and drug-free environment for the citizens of DeKalb County. Their mission is to bring together community leaders and residents, forming strong partnerships across various sectors, to combat substance abuse and reduce its impact on the community.
Through their programs and initiatives, the coalition offers responsible beverage service training, opioid overdose training, and promotes the use of medication lock boxes to prevent accidental ingestion by young children. They also conduct the Dekalb County Student Survey, funded by the State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, to gather valuable insights and data on substance abuse among students. With a vision of a safe, healthy, and drug-free community, the DeKalb Prevention Coalition is actively working towards achieving this goal.
