Prevention Works in Seattle (WINS) is a northeast Seattle community coalition formed in 2006 to put programs and strategies into place that, when consistently implemented, are proven to reduce drug and alcohol use rates. Its mission is to prevent underage drinking, substance abuse, and associated problems through education, advocacy, and networking with students, families, and the community.
Its website, http://www.preventionworksinseattle.org, has more information, including parental tips, resources, calendar of events, and its blog.
The coalition meets the second Tuesday, every-other month, 8-9:30 a.m. at Seattle Children’s Hospital, 4800 Sand Point Way NE. The next meeting is in July.
