Who We Are

Coalition for a Better Wallingford is a grassroots organization established in 2012 as a result of alarming drug and alcohol addiction/abuse statistics among teens and young adults in the community. From 2010 to 2013 there were 53 documented substance abuse deaths and hundreds of overdoses in Wallingford. The statistics are unfortunately common and very familiar in all communities throughout Connecticut and the United States.

Addiction is misunderstood and does not discriminate by social or economic class. It is a complicated illness that destroys lives and families emotionally, physically and mentally. In response to these circumstances the Coalition set out to be the bridge to provide help, hope and support in collaboration with other community organizations.

Our main goal is to bring awareness that Substance and Alcohol addiction/abuse is happening in our community. The best way to help parents, young adults and kids is to education them on the harms of these substances and alcohol to prevent more overdoses and deaths.
​

We want to engage Wallingford’s community resources to produce healthy, caring and responsible citizens by raising awareness and reducing substance abuse among our youth

Mission Statement
