The Oceana LEADS coalition was founded in 2016 and serves Oceana County, Michigan. Oceana LEADS uses the Strategic Planning Framework (SPF) to plan and implement initiatives that engage youth, families, and community stakeholders in working together to prevent youth substance abuse and promote community wellness.

What we DoOur priority areas include youth alcohol use, youth marijuana use, youth vaping and opiate overdoses. Oceana LEADS continually monitors data trends to adjust our priorities based on community needs. Strategies like a social hosting coaster campaign with local restaurants, hosting community education events such as Keep Out: The Teen Room Project and substance-free events for youth and families contribute to reducing substance abuse in our community.
