​As a coalition, we work hard to make sure preventionists across the state have the needed guidance and resources to do effective prevention work. MECASA receives grant funding in order to provide preventionists with technical assistance to best do their work.

Once you have completed the above steps, please reach out to Prevention Coordinator, Katie MacDonald, to schedule a one-on-one meeting (within 6 months of hire). This meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other, to review the above materials, to answer any questions you may have, and to welcome you to the MECASA family!
