Prevention and Recovery Support in Oakland County
Auburn Hills, MI – April 10, 2020
With Governor Whitmer’s Stay Home, Stay Safe Executive Order and closure of Michigan businesses, community events and school buildings, The Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities (Alliance) has adapted quickly to provide online prevention and recovery support for all community members including our youth and persons in need of Narcan. See below for more information.
If you haven’t already done so, please connect with us through social media as we are constantly posting updates, wellness tips, events and resources. Also, our trainings are listed on our website calendar. Updates are constant. A new page on our website just launched with our online offerings.
