About
Reducing Substance misuse - HCCA partners with over 75 individuals, organizations, and municipalities to reduce the impact of tobacco use and exposure and prevent other substance misuse through policy and environmental changes, education, interventions, and community engagement. Funding for primary prevention comes from federal and state government contracts SAMHSA and Maine Prevention Services/UNE Substance Misuse Prevention. However, these funds do not cover all needs. HCCA identifies gaps, creates strategic plans based on best practice and applies for additional resources to foundations/philanthropies. An identified gap in tobacco was resources to support pregnant women to quit smoking. HCCA now convenes Reaching More Moms RMM designed to address the gap and help moms before, during and after pregnancy to quit smoking. RMM has been funded by both the March of Dimes/Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation and Maine Cancer Foundation. HCCAs Prime for Life class for young adults, ages 18-20, who have violated substance use law, is an early intervention to educate the offenders.
