Welcome to the Spencer County Community Action Network

The Community Action Network, or C.A.N., is a group of citizens dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles in Spencer County through the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, other drug abuse, and violence.

Our Goals are:

  • To Promote a healthy, drug-free environment in Spencer County by educating our citizens about misperceptions regarding the use of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana;

  • To Reduce adolescent substance abuse and related problems in Spencer County by increasing the number of youth with healthy, accurate perceptions of peer use, which will reduce the likelihood of them engaging in substance abuse;

  • To Increase community involvement in Spencer County by promoting positive communication and coordination among individuals, agencies, government, schools, law enforcement, faith community, youth, and parents.

Our meetings are held bimonthly, and all members of the community are encouraged to attend.  Please check our Upcoming Events section for dates and locations of upcoming meetings.

 

 

 

We invite parents of youth age 13-20 to participate in an important survey being conducted by Seven Counties Services Prevention Division.  The results of the survey will help Jefferson County, as well as groups in other cities and states, address underage drinking and other important health issues in local communities.  After completing the survey, you will be eligible for the drawing of a $25 gift card.
