Unlike single-focus efforts, the coalition’s scope covers alcohol and all other substances affecting Kenosha County — wherever the data and the community point.

One county, one coalition. The work spans schools, workplaces, healthcare settings, and neighborhoods across Kenosha County.

Public health, schools, treatment providers, courts, law enforcement, recovery organizations, businesses, faith communities, families, and residents — coalition work is built on participation.

Hope Council participates in and supports the coalition’s work as part of its prevention and advocacy mission.

Coalition work focuses where collaboration moves the needle:

Reducing substance use before it starts, especially among youth.

Changing how the community talks about substance use, so people seek help sooner.

Making sure services connect instead of overlap, and gaps get filled.

Building community capacity to recognize, respond, and refer.

Strengthening the local conditions that make recovery sustainable.

Practical, community-level harm prevention.
