Orting Standing Together On Prevention

Orting Standing Together On Prevention partnered with Orting school district to provide a Key Leader Event for Orting’s top leaders to create a sense of community ownership for addressing substance use and mental health issues, which are prevalent in the community. Our goal was to provide a platform for these leaders to learn about the latest research, best practices, and available resources for prevention and treatment. We wish to enable the leaders to network and collaborate with other professionals and organizations in the community, thus fostering partnerships and building coalitions. By bringing together influential and knowledgeable leaders, a Key Leader Event provided a unique opportunity to create a coordinated and collaborative approach to addressing substance use and mental health issues in Orting. We are incredibly grateful for the support of Prairie Ride Coalition and Molina Health Care who sponsored the snacks and refreshments for this event.
