GCSAC (Gratiot County Substance Abuse Coalition) was founded by the Gratiot Collaborative Council in 2005 to help address the need for substance abuse prevention services in Gratiot County. Since that time, the coalition has gathered additional information about the nature of the problem of substance use and abuse in Gratiot County and developed programs and services to help address the need. In 2010, Child Advocacy became the fiduciary for GCSAC. Child Advocacy provides supervision and acts as a fiduciary for prevention dollars. Through this partnership, the coalition has become more effective and is being looked upon as a leader of change and advocacy in the community.
Our mission is to collect and share data in order to develop and implement prevention strategies which will result in community collaboration to reduce the misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, or other substances among youth and adults.
Our vision is to empower individuals in Gratiot County to choose a healthy, safe way to work, play, and live. This will be accomplished by collaboration among organizations, agencies, and government.
GCSAC is a collaborative countywide decision-making body of community members that convenes monthly to address the issue of substance abuse prevention needs for Gratiot County.
