Meet the Bitterroot Cares Staff and Coalition
Working together to build a healthier future for the youth and families of Ravalli County.
Bitterroot Cares is a community coalition dedicated to preventing youth substance use by bringing together schools, parents, youth, healthcare providers, law enforcement, local government, businesses, faith organizations, and community members. Through collaboration, education, and evidence-based prevention strategies, we work to reduce youth alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and emerging drug use while strengthening the protective factors that help young people thrive.
Our coalition believes that lasting prevention happens when an entire community works together to create safe, healthy, and supportive environments where every young person has the opportunity to succeed.
