The Rice County Chemical and Mental Health Coalition needs your help to find and recognize PREVENTION CHAMPIONS in our community.

A Prevention Champion is someone who helps reduce risk factors for alcohol and drug abuse, supports recovery, promotes mental health and well-being, or builds assets for our youth and other community members.

They can be our friends, our neighbors, our teachers, our mentors, our business partners, our police officers, our health professionals, or other community members.

Please help us recognize and encourage these community leaders by nominating them for a Prevention Champion Award.

They will receive the recognition and encouragement they deserve, and others will be inspired by their story.

Read about previous Prevention Champions here.

Nominating a Prevention Champion is simple and takes just a few moments.
