APW CT The Alliance for Prevention and Wellness (formerly VSAAC): building healthy communities in the Valley, Greater New Haven and Middlesex counties

On August 1, VSAAC will become the Alliance for Prevention & Wellness (APW). We foster positive mental health by preventing substance misuse and other health-risk behaviors and by building resources that promote wellness. VSAAC has a long history of substance abuse prevention activities and continues to expand its programs to address substances of abuse, suicide, risky behaviors and to promote goo

d mental health. Our service area continues to grow throughout the Lower Naugatuck Valley and Greater New Haven areas. The Alliance for Prevention & Wellness is a direct result of our donors and community partners commitment to improving our communities. Like our page to stay up to date on our trainings, seminars, and activities for youth, adults, parents and professionals. Together we can build healthier communities for all.
