Event Calendar

The Bergen County Prevention Coalition (BCPC) and Garfield Prevention Coalition (GPC) are a collaboration of individuals and organizations that are committed to, and passionate about reducing the rates of alcohol and drug use among youth and young adults in Bergen County.

The coalition’s members work together to address these issues by leveraging resources and building on the group’s collective strengths to influence the environment as it relates to underage drinking, electronic cigarettes/vaping, prescription medication misuse, reducing the use of illegal drugs with a special focus on opioids, and reducing the use of new and emerging drugs of abuse across the lifespan.

Monthly meetings provide an opportunity for members to network, participate in relevant training seminars, and plan collaborative initiatives to address the needs the coalition establishes as its focus.

Membership is open to those who are interested in creating a healthy, safe and drug-free Bergen County, including youth and young adults.

Meetings are currently hybrid. In person: Children's Aid and Family Services, 22-08 Route 208 South or virtual through Zoom
