The Clackamas County Prevention Coalition (CCPC) is a collaboration of partners representing county government, schools, youth serving organizations, law enforcement agencies, civic and volunteer groups, health-care professionals, and other stakeholders in the community who are interested in promoting healthy, safe communities and positive youth development, with a focus on reducing underage drug and alcohol use and associated harms. We do this by raising awareness, enhancing skills, providing support, altering physical environments to reduce risky behaviors, and modifying or creating policies and strive to center youth voice and equity in these activities.

We also work with partners to promote the principles of Restorative Justice and advance an alternative approach to disciplinary action for student substance use. We host in-person and online trainings for school staff and community partners to build a better understanding of these principles and set the stage for change. A Restorative Justice approach can reduce suspensions and racial disparities in discipline while simultaneously raising student achievement levels.
CCPC meets the third Wednesday of every month from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Development Services Building (150 Beavercreek Road,, Oregon City, OR 97045 map) in room 119. Diverse perspectives are welcome and anyone interested is encouraged to attend and join.
Contact Brian McCrady at bmccrady@clackamas.us or 503-348-4261 or Elizabeth White at ewhite@clackamas.us or 503-402-4087 for more information.
The CCPC supports local community coalitions in North Clackamas, Milwaukie, Oregon City and West Linn and convenes countywide prevention enthusiasts for ongoing project partnerships.
