Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership (CCSAPP)

CCSAPP is a coalition of various agencies, organizations and individuals working together to reduce local substance abuse with strong collaborative partnerships and community ownership, using awareness, education, and community-wide solutions.

Why Prevention?    The social, health and criminal consequences of substance abuse are costly to the community, devastating to families, and highly preventable. Research shows that prevention efforts comprising multiple strategies throughout a community can reduce substance abuse in that community.  CCSAPP works to raise community awareness; provide substance abuse prevention education; increase community access to substance abuse prevention information and promote efforts to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors for Cabell County youth.

CCSAPP is funded by a SPFSIG Grant from the WV Governor’s Office and the WV Partnership to Promote Community Well-Being. The grant is made possible by the State of West Virginia’s receipt of a federal Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPFSIG) from the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention.
