Bergen County Prevention Coalition (BCPC)

About BCPC
Founded in 2010, the Bergen County Prevention Coalition (BCPC) unites passionate individuals and organizations to reduce youth and young adult substance use and prevent related problems. Together, we tackle underage drinking, prescription drug misuse, opioid abuse among 18–25-year-olds, and emerging drugs across all ages. BCPC drives change through community-wide strategies, measurable outcomes, and collaborative initiatives.  Monthly meetings provide networking, training, and planning opportunities based on local data.

Membership is open to anyone committed to creating a healthy, safe, and drug-free Bergen County. General Membership Meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month from 10:00am – 11:00am. 

The retail environment is a major channel used by Big Tobacco to promote youth initiation and use of tobacco products. Point-of-sale strategies enhance state and local tobacco control efforts. Implementing policies in your community will strengthen a comprehensive approach to combat tobacco use rates among youth and adults.
