My mom grew up with an alcoholic mom… her sister and one brother are in their 50’s and are alcoholics today. My mom rarely drinks and luckily my aunt’s (her sister’s) daughter (who is 13) is straight edge because she sees how horribly this disease has affected her family. Breaking the Cycle is possible!
We envision a Melrose that is a safe, healthy, resourceful community--one that embraces substance abuse prevention efforts and is united on the path to positive solutions.
The Coalition is dedicated to improving the quality of life for all in Melrose by fostering evidence-based substance abuse prevention strategies. Working collaboratively and providing resources, we take a leadership role in combating this problem by offering HOPE....health, outreach, prevention, and education.
