What We Do
The abuse of alcohol and other drugs can have devastating
consequences for individuals and families, including higher
crime and suicide rates. At WNY United, were especially
concerned about the the welfare of the youngest, most
vulnerable residents of our communities. We believe it's
not enough just to treat the effects of substance abuse.
It's also critical to understand and combat the causes -
which is why our grassroots initiatives are focused on
prevention. Working with area schools and community groups,
we teach proven strategies designed to raise awareness and
discourage kids from using alcohol and other dangerous
drugs. To accomplish these goals, WNY United forges
long-term School Community Action Team (SCAT) partnerships
with area schools and communities to train key individuals
to work collaboratively. Together, we build comprehensive
plans for preventing the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and
other dangerous drugs. As an agency, we utilize the
following four evidence-based strategies. Click each link
