How We Help

Empowering youth, supporting families, and building a healthier Williamson County.

At Williamson Prevention Coalition, we take a comprehensive, community-based approach to preventing youth substance use. Through education, outreach, and long-standing partnerships, we provide the knowledge and tools needed to create a safer, drug-free future—for youth, families, and the community at large.

Prevention in Action

We’re proud to lead initiatives that reach thousands of youth across Williamson County with vital prevention messaging.

Impact Highlights:

  • 16,000+ youth reached with education on alcohol, tobacco, vaping, opioids, marijuana, and stimulants

  • 17,140 pounds of unused and expired medications safely collected since 2014 through six permanent dropbox locations

  • $1.4 million saved in taxpayer costs through proactive prevention work

Educating Youth

We partner with local schools to deliver engaging, age-appropriate presentations that equip students with the knowledge they need to make safe and informed choices.

Topics We Cover Include:

  • Underage drinking

  • Tobacco and vaping (traditional and electronic devices)

  • Prescription drug misuse and opioids

  • Marijuana and stimulant use

  • Mental health awareness

  • Harm reduction and naloxone education

Our presentations are tailored to meet the unique needs of each school and student group.

Supporting Families

Prevention begins at home. That’s why we offer resources and education specifically for parents, guardians, and caregivers. We believe that empowered adults create empowered youth.

We speak at parent meetings, host family education nights, and participate in after-school events—sharing valuable information and providing free resources like prescription medication lockboxes. By helping adults feel confident in tough conversations, we make it easier for families to take a stand for wellness and safety.

Building Community Connections

Every event is a chance to make a difference. Whether it's tabling at a school event, collaborating with community partners, or training the next generation of leaders, we embrace every opportunity to educate and engage.

Together, we're creating a community where prevention is possible—and where every voice plays a role in lasting change.
