In partnership with West Marin Community Services, the Center leads the West Marin Coalition for Healthy Youth (WMCHY) which focuses on youth substance use prevention. Marin County teens have some of the highest rates of binge drinking and drug use in the state and the WMCHY is instituting prevention measures to address this. With increasing risk of accidental overdoses due to fentanyl, this work is more important than ever before.
