Substance Abuse Prevention Planning
Our contract with the Florida Department of Children and Families as managed through Central Florida Behavioral Health Network allows HCADA to facilitate a community planning process for the prevention and reduction of substance use disorders . HCADA uses the Strategic Prevention Framework public heath approach recommended by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This model recognizes that no institution or organization alone can address these issues. It is only through strong community support and collaboration that we can make the necessary changes to make Hillsborough County safe and free from substance abuse and addiction. HCADA utilizes the Strategic Prevention Framework process to plan and implement environmental and evidence-based strategies to prevent and reduce substance abuse and related consequences among residents in Hillsborough County, FL. The work of HCADA is accomplished through it task forces: Tampa Alcohol Coalition, Prescription Drug/Opioid Abuse Task Force, Marijuana Task Force, and General Membership. Other Task Forces or workgroups are formed on an ad hoc basis as community need warrants.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2022 – Sep 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$136.7KYouth Alcohol Awareness Initiative
The SAMHSA STOP ACT Grant allows HCADA to educate the community around areas of substance abuse that are directly impacting Hillsborough County. Through this opportunity, HCADA has focused on working with our youth/young adult population to prevent and reduce underage drinking and binge drinking. Our alcohol related task force called; "Tampa Alcohol Coalition" (TAC) is our oldest continuous task force. TAC strives to increase awareness about the consequences of underage drinking and high-risk drinking in the community, advocate for effective alcohol policies, and supports the consistent enforcement of underage drinking and DUI laws. Members collaborate with local and state organizations/agencies, media, and law enforcement to prevent underage, high-risk drinking, and impaired driving. In addition, we have a youth-led, adult guided youth group movement called YMAD (Youth Making a Difference), which promotes positive youth development and protective factors such as pro-social involvement in community and schools.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2022 – Sep 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$58.6KYouth Drug Education Programs
