Tualatin Together is fortunate to have active coalition members in all twelve sectors as well as the Recovery sector. With the support of our community partners, Tualatin Together is able to identify community needs regarding youth substance misuse and mental health issues. Using evidence-based practices, the coalition works to develop prevention strategies that address the needs specific to the Tualatin youth community.

Using a trauma-informed lens, Tualatin Together takes data-driven prevention strategies from vision to practice. With every new strategy, results are monitored and evaluated, sustaining the programs that work best for our community’s youth. TT’s primary focus is to prevent youth consumption of marijuana, alcohol, and vaping. Tualatin Together also works to facilitate positive mental health norms for youth through education and community connection. In addition to the DFC grant, Tualatin Together receives funding from Washington County and a substantial in-kind contribution from the Tigard-Tualatin School District.
