The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, awarded a $125,000 Drug-Free Communities (CFDA 93.276) Project Grant to Lifeline Connections, a non-profit substance use and mental health treatment provider in the Pacific Northwest. The grant aims to expand existing prevention infrastructure and implement comprehensive strategies to reduce youth substance misuse, particularly alcohol and marijuana use, in the Raymond School District in Washington. Key objectives include reducing 30-day alcohol use among students from 23% to 14% and 30-day marijuana use from 20% to 14% by 2029, as well as increasing perceived parental disapproval of marijuana use and decreasing community attitudes favorable to substance use. The project will serve approximately 500 elementary, middle, and high school students and their families in the Raymond community.
