ABOUT THE COALITION

WHAT WE DO

The Big Lake Substance Prevention Coalition was established in 2021 under a five year grant awarded to Big Lake School District from the Minnesota Department of Human Services Behavioral Health Division. As a group, the coalition works to correct misperceptions about the behaviors and attitudes of youth and adults surrounding underage substance use through the Positive Community Norms (PCN) framework.

85% of Big Lake students AGREE parents should talk with them about NOT using alcohol
