The City of Somerville’s Prevention Services division, the Cambridge Health Alliance, City of Everett, the Town of Arlington’s Youth Health and Safety Coalition, and the Town of Lexington’s Human Services department secured the MassCALL3 grant for regional youth substance misuse prevention work, awarded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Substance Addiction Services division.

The grant aims to prevent the initiation of first substance misuse among youth. Over the last year, the cluster worked with the Institute for Community Health to gather and analyze information from key stakeholders in each community to inform strategic intervention planning.
