To build capacity and continue our commitment to addressing community challenges, Flagler Cares and One Voice for Volusia have merged into one corporate structure under Flagler Cares. One Voice for Volusia is doing business as the Substance Use Prevention Coalition and neutral community facilitator in Volusia County, focusing on addressing risk factors and building protective factors to prevent early initiation of youth substance use. Flagler Cares will remain committed to providing social safety net, behavioral health and outpatient counseling, and prevention services for Flagler County.
Now covering a two-county footprint, Flagler Cares and One Voice for Volusia can expand coordinated services and continue to bring resources and collaboration in behavioral health, social services, and substance use prevention, all work informed by data and the community members we serve.
For Volusia County, our name, mission, and purpose remain the same, and we are dedicated to substance use prevention work. We are known for our One Voice for Volusia Coalition, a collaborative of health and human services sector representatives and community providers, and we will continue to host monthly Coalition meetings on the second Wednesday of the month at 9 a.m. unless otherwise noted on the Events calendar.
One Voice for Volusia will also continue to offer the Community Connector, an email distribution list. Members can request to send announcements, events, information, and job postings to the distribution list, and anyone can sign up to receive the emails to stay connected to our community. Our social media presence is strong, so join us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
While our role as a neutral community convener is strong, One Voice for Volusia is a substance use prevention organization at our core. We offer youth programs and speakers on prevention topics and resilience, and we educate the community through various campaigns, information, and marketing efforts, including a Prevention Resource site.
