Who We Are and Why This Mission Matters.

The Douglas County Drug Prevention Coalition (DPC) is a community-driven group working to reduce substance abuse and support healthier lives across our county. What started as a small committee in 2011 has grown into a powerful collaboration of local leaders, organizations, and volunteers focused on education, awareness, and access to resources. We’re proud of our roots and excited about our future—bringing people together, securing vital funding, and launching prevention efforts that truly make a difference. Whether you’re a parent, teen, educator, or just someone who cares, there’s a place for you in this mission. Let’s build a stronger, safer Douglas County—together.

What Do You Want To Learn About?

Tobacco is Changing

Cigarette use may be dropping among Wisconsin’s youth, but newer, less recognizable tobacco products are gaining popularity fast, and that’s not good because there’s no such thing as a safe tobacco product.

Dose of Reality

It is important to get your DOSE OF REALITY about the risks and dangers of using prescription narcotics, as well as the signs of abuse, before it becomes a problem for you or your loved ones.

Small Talks

Small talks are short, casual conversations that help you connect with your child on the important stuff, like underage drinking. Having lots of small talks over time helps build trust and set expectations as kids change and grow.
