About the SAFE Coalition

The Winneshiek County SAFE coalition was formed in 2000 to address concerns related to substance use in Winneshiek County, continues to meet on a regular basis. The coalition’s mission is “to mobilize the people of the county to address the county’s concerns and needs with respect to substance use and other threats to a healthy community.”

By helping the youth in our community understand the risks and consequences associated with underage drinking and drugs, the coalition strives to help them make wise choices regarding substance use. Keeping adults informed about substance use, the risks involved and the social consequences of substance abuse is one way the coalition serves the community.
