The Steuben Prevention Coalition was originally formed in 1991 to address the ever increasing need to provide education and awareness on substance abuse issues to the residents of Steuben County. The original members included both prevention providers and treatment agencies within Steuben County. Over the years the Coalition has become a coalition of the three prevention providers in Steuben County: Hornell Concern for Youth, Family Service Society in conjunction with the Steuben Council on Addictions and the Director of Steuben County Community Services.
In October of 2013, Steuben County was awarded a five year federal grant and has employed a Drug Free Communities program coordinator and an assistant program coordinator to help reduce alcohol and drug use by teenagers. We continue to expand our coalition’s membership to include citizens both adult and youth from all sectors from within Steuben County.
