West Virginia's County-Level
Wellness and Prevention Coalitions
Local wellness and prevention oriented coalitions exist in most of WV's 55 counties. Some have been in existence for quite some time, while others are fairly new.
Many were formed and/or strengthened because of
WV's receipt and implementation of a federal Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG).
Coaltion funding varies but often includes some type of federal grant.
The following inventory of local coalitions is maintained by the WV Prevention Resource Center.
In counties where an active group is not known to exist, a primary, wellness/prevention-oriented contact is listed.
Please contact
Michele Burnside with updates and/or corrections.
