Weymouth Prevention Alliance

Our Mission is to create a strong and healthy community where we’ve changed the social norms and minimized the impact of substance misuse.   

The Weymouth Prevention Alliance meets every other month, alternating between virtual and in-person meetings. 

Previous prevention efforts have been funded through the federal Drug Free Communities Support Program grant, grants from the Department of Public Health, the Community Health Network Alliance and private donations. Currently we are working with Building Up Youth (BUY); a regional youth focuses substance us prevention grant involving the communities of Braintree, Milton, Quincy, Randolph, and Weymouth. The eight year grant will be looking to engage community members and organizations is an assessment and planning process. These assessments help guide support for our youth in these communities and help determine which strategies to implement. Additionally, we are part of the HEALing communities Research Study with Boston Medical Center. This grassroots research study is committed to bridging the gaps that prevent people with opioid use disorder from accessing quality care and treatment.

The reasons for substance misuse and substance use disorders are complex.  As a result, we use multiple strategies in multiple places in order to change the environment.  Not one strategy or outreach effort will reach everyone in our community, but with your help, we can broaden our ability.
