Scratch Coalition

Scratch Coalition The coalition employs environmental strategies to change community norms which might be favorable to substance abuse. All are welcome to join the coalition.

The Salem-Cumberland Regional Action Toward Community Health (SCRATCH) Coalition strives to decrease substance abuse in Salem and Cumberland Counties, New Jersey. SCRATCH is an initiative of The Southwest Council, a substance abuse prevention agency which has been providing substance abuse education and prevention services in Salem and Cumberland Counties for more than 21 years. For instance, the

coalition will work to change the belief that underage drinking is a normal part of growing up by conducting Sticker Shock Campaigns designed to inform adults of the legal consequences of providing alcohol to underage drinkers. SCRATCH initiatives address three main issues:

Underage Drinking
Prescription Drug Abuse across the lifespan
Illegal Substances with a special emphasis on marijuana use

The coalition is 60 members strong and enjoys good representation at our monthly meetings. The coalition membership is diverse and includes both professionals and volunteers from Salem and Cumberland Counties who are interested in reducing substance abuse in their communities. Members consist of health professionals, school officials, municipal alliance coordinators, religious leaders, parents and youth, to name a few. Coalition members look forward to working to reduce substance abuse in the Salem-Cumberland region for years to come.
