Prevention Specialist at Casa Grande Alliance - Casa Grande, Arizona, United States
The Casa Grande Alliance is a 40+ member community-based prevention coalition that was founded in 1989. In December 2007, the coalition formed a nonprofit, charitable organization to serve as the organizational arm of the coalition. Until recently, the focus of CGA, Inc. has been to provide prevention education and awareness services, treatment resource information, coalition mentoring and administrative support to the Casa Grande Alliance and other prevention coalitions. These coalitions provide a framework to critical issues through effective prevention strategy. With increased knowledge of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), we are transitioning to become a more trauma informed and responsive organization that focuses on building strengths-based services within the community. Our vision is to partner with students, parents, families, schools, and community organizations, to increase student and family success and build a healthy and safe community.
