West Spokane Wellness Partnerships Positive Social Norm Campaign
West Spokane Wellness Partnership implements a Positive Social Norm Media Campaign which is rooted in the Science of the Positive by Dr. Jeff Linkenbach. Because we are a data driven and data informed coalition, we want to ensure that we are correctly educating the public about the strengths of our youth, families, and community. We share our data in a positive and strengths-based light.

The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program is the nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth. Created in 1997 by the Drug-Free Communities Act, administered by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and now managed by CDC, the DFC Program provides grants to community coalitions to strengthen the infrastructure among local partners to create and sustain a reduction in local youth substance use. Currently, ONDCP funds more than 700 community coalitions across the country in all 50 states. DFC grant recipients are awarded up to $125,000 per year, including West Spokane Wellness Partnership and Shadle Prevention Wellness Coalition service areas.
